Another extreme windstorm is impacting Alberta for the second time in four days, causing significant damage, including downed power lines and damaged poles. Our crews are mobilized and working to restore power safely and quickly as conditions allow. Given the extent of the damage, some customers are expected to remain without power overnight. If you are currently without power we are asking you to prepare for an extended outage. As we continue to triage and assess damage, estimated restoration times will be updated on our outage map. To everyone impacted, we know this is difficult, particularly after another significant windstorm. Thank you for your patience and understanding as our crews continue restoration efforts.

High winds continue to cause outages across parts of our service area. We’ve brought in additional crews from other areas to support restoration efforts and our teams are working safely to assess damage, make repairs and get power back on as quickly as conditions allow. If you’re without power, please check our outage map for the latest estimated restoration time for your area. If your outage is expected to continue overnight, we’ll also contact you directly by phone with an update. Outage map: service.fortisalberta.com We know how disruptive it can be to be without power and we appreciate your patience and understanding as our crews work to get the power back on.

Had the pleasure of participating in the annual @AltaLink Let's Connect event in YYC this week, and continue important conversations around how we shape Alberta's electricity future. Thank you to AltaLink President Paul Lee, and Vice President of External Affairs Cayla Saby for having me and putting on a great event.

Service has been restored to customers in Banff, Lake Louise, Sunshine and Norquay affected by a transmission outage. The cause was determined to be wildlife interference. Thank you for your patience as our crew ensured the safe restoration of service.

The Brooks region has been hit hard by devastating hail. Families, farmers, and businesses are dealing with significant damage. Yesterday, I spent time on the ground with residents to see the impact firsthand and I couldn’t be prouder of our first responders and utility crews working tirelessly to help. Special thanks to Altalink, Fortis and Arrow for working nonstop to get the lights back on for everyone so quickly!
