@hydro_customer Fantastic news! What happens to those of us again without power this morning since 8am?! I live in the M section of Brossard and I am losing power every 2 days for hours on end with little to no indication as to why?! Today it is not weather! Crown Corp with no care to fix it!

@hydroquebec @axelbergman @ranic Interesting. We also had an outage in Rosemont in the middle of the day Sunday (no storms, it was totally clear weather!). So is it cost alone that is the issue for putting lines underground? Or are there other disadvantages?

@hydroquebec @axelbergman Thanks for the thorough explanations! It seems like our area has been getting power outages a lot more often. Hopefully this is temporary. We even have a neighbour in the alley who has given himself the title of Chief Power Officer since he checks the outage status for us!

When we need to check for outages, your website doesn’t work. As soon as I start entering my address, I get a msg that say “sorry that service is not working now.”🤬🤷🏻♂️🙄

As far as rates, in North America the cheapest electricity is found in Quebec, Manitoba, and BC, all of which have crown corps (public) run generation and distribution.
Every year @hydroquebec produces a report comparing NA rates. Public wins hands down.

@hydro_customer Looks like yes. But shouldn't that be your problem?
There were more than 10 outages in my part of VSL last summer. Losing power at 5:15 am meant the CPAP I need to breathe at night shut off and that was not a fun way to wake up.

📢Power Outage Geospatial Data Archive
@hydroquebec makes the power outage data available as a KMZ at https://t.co/0a0MONAHN5, but it is wiped clean every day.
I created this repo which visits the website every day at 23:59 and saves the data.

@nspowerinc @hydroquebec Thanks for the quick reply and offering a solution.
I'd like to make a few dozen checks a day, so an automated service like an API to check outage history for a single location would be preferable.
Is such a service available?

@hydroquebec 4 days into a major outage and the only info on your outage map is that it is a major outage. That is not much of an notification. By now that you have your 80% restored and I am sure you targets for measurements have been met I would hope you could a give better notification

@hydro_customer I can imagine how busy you must be. At 700 Blvd Hurtubise in Gatineau, there is a tree down over a big hydro poll and bent into water. It seems extremely dangerous. Nobody has done anything. Residents placed tapes around it so cars don't drive on it and get electrocuted.

@hydro_customer No Hydro QC trucks have been seen in Blainville and when asked you told us you don't know the reason of the outage for where we live. Emergency management planning is inexistant. No plan, no way to support your paying customers. Some HQC managers should lose their jobs!

@hydro_customer Will there ever be any plans to bury the power lines under ground like what real cities do in 2022? It is a little bizarre to me that all of Gatineau still has wires dangling around for dear life, waiting for a few trees to take down an entire city's infrastructure..
