Power Restoration Update ⚡

03/30/2025 2:46pm We’re making progress! A major feeder has been restored in Cobourg, and several customers should see their power back shortly. Our crews are continuing to work diligently to restore service to all remaining areas.

 

03/30/2025 1:51 PM Lakefront crews are working 24/7 to restore power after the severe ice storm caused significant damage, in Colborne and Cobourg. Hydro One is also working hard to restore loss of supply to affected Colborne areas. Stay safe — watch for falling ice from power lines, avoid downed wires, and limit travel on hazardous roads. We’re incredibly grateful for our dedicated crews and all line workers across the province working through these tough conditions.

 

3/30/2025 11:55 AM We are aware of reoccurring power outages affecting Colborne, and now, Cobourg, and new areas across the two territories. The outages are due to trees falling on wires, causing significant damage. Our Lakefront crew is working diligently to restore power as quickly and safely as possible. Due to the number of outages, this process will take some time. Thank you for your patience and support. Please stay tuned.
