This post is pinned to the top of our feed so our customers can easily report a power outage.
To report a power outage or hazard, please give us a call at 705-675-7536.
Our social media channels are not monitored 24/7. Calling is the best option, especially after work hours.
So... for everyone pushing for a time of restoration, I repeat "NO ETR". Because we literally don't know. Crews are in the field and doing what is needed to restore. I could make up a random time but that makes no sense. Expect power back tonight.

A widespread power outage is affecting many areas of Greater Sudbury. Hydro One has lost power at the Martindale TS, affecting our distribution feed. We will try to reroute power where possible, but that will take some time. Please bear with us. Our Crew is on it!
As of 9:56am, all 8,350 without power are now restored. Cause was a fallen tree branch hung up on the lines near Delki Dozzi. Hope the
#ONstorm
doesn't impact us again.

news to share...almost all of our Primary line is energized! Just a small section of Woodbine left to restore...that should be done by 9 PM TONIGHT! Tomorrow we can give 100% attention to reconnecting those homes who have repaired masts and have ESA authorization
Crews mustering for last day. Out of towners will head home later. Truly appreciate their help! SSM PUC, North Bay Hydro, Lakeland Power, Arborworks, Carruthers Contracting, McNamara Line Co, Pickard Construction, and City of Greater Sudbury..great work!
At 10:47pm we lost power due to a fault on our line which has now been isolated. Customers have all been restored as of 2:05am, including Health Sciences North. In total there were 10,649 customers out of power in the Ramsey Lake/Big Nickel Mine Road area. TY for your patience.
UPDATE on power outage affecting Sudbury. Hydro One has a problem at their Martindale TS, which supplies many of our subs. We are rerouting power-still have So End and Coniston out. Coniston will be off until Hydro One can resolve their issue. So End should be back on shortly.
UPDATE! Good news-found a tree over lines in the bush in Gatchell, and now power has been restored to Gatchell/WestEnd/York area. Still a few isolated addresses in that area that we're following up on. FALCONBRIDGE- crews are on the way..still No ETR for you.

We were able to restore power to our customers in Capreol, Falconbridge and Coniston just before 3am. As we return to normal switching configurations later today, some customers in our service territory may notice momentary interruptions.
#Thanksforyourpatience
If you're wondering why an issue at a Hydro One Transmission Station affects restoration for our distribution customers, this diagram gives you a good idea. Meanwhile, we will reroute power where possible, but in some areas we cannot and restoration depends on a repair at the TS.
At the peak
#outage
, 8780 customers dark. We have restored all BUT Moonglo (Arnold not out), and everything South of 4 Corners and West of Richard Lake, 1870 people. Crews and Control room are working on problem, but it WILL BE A WHILE. Should be done b4 midnight.
@GreaterSudbury
GSH has rerouted power to all customers possible, however those in Capreol, Falconbridge & Coniston are still off, while Hydro One repairs equipment at Martindale TS. IT WILL BE AT LEAST 4 OR 5 HOURS before restoration, possibly early morning. Signing off SM for the night.
UPDATE- Power was rerouted to the South End. The Moonlight area is the next to be restored...shouldn't be long. Coniston, Capreol & Falconbridge will not likely be back on until
@HydroOne
is able to put equipment back into service at Martindale TS, which may take several hours.
And we are happy to say that Power is being restored in Coniston right now! Actually, we have to re-energize in stages since it's so cold, but within a few minutes, we should have all power back on. A big thank you to
@HydroOne
for the fix...and our customers for their patience!

Power restored to all just under 800 customers in the South End/ 4 Corners area affected by this afternoon's power outage. Thanks for your patience. Bright spot... it was at least a bit warmer than it has been all week and not -30!
Keep in mind all safety aspects while we work on power restoration. If you are out of power, prepare for us to re-energize by ensuring all appliances are turned off. We ask that you do not begin to clear debris - lines can be live when they appear not to be.
#safetyfirst
Freezing rain warning ended for our area (Yay!) Snow still coming down, travel is dicey. Winds are apparently lessening now and that is a very good thing. Let's all Cross our Fingers that we come through without a power interruption!
