Hydro One Crews Restore More Than 115,000 Customers as Damaging High Winds Battered Parts of the Province
On February 29 of 2024, Hydro One crews worked around the clock, restoring power to more than 115,000 customers affected by the damaging high winds that battered parts of central, southern and eastern Ontario the previous day. The outages were mostly caused by severe winds bringing down trees and branches onto distribution lines. At the time there were approximately 17,400 customers without power and customers in eastern Ontario were urged to remain prepared for additional outages as high winds were expected in the region.
