UPDATE: Planned rotating power outages planned in Summerside cancelled

The City of Summerside says planned rotating power outages it had previously announced for Tuesday night have been cancelled.  The City had announced at about 3:30pm that due to the ongoing damage to the Maritime Electric Sherbrooke Substation, it would be turning off circuits across the city on a rotational basis to help manage power loads.  However, at 5:30pm the City of Summerside advised that it had received an update from Maritime Electric guaranteeing the City enough power for Tuesday evening — meaning the rotating power outages would not be necessary Tuesday night.
The City of Summerside says it remains a very fluid situation and it’s actively working with Maritime Electric for real-time updates.  Islanders are being encouraged by Maritime Electric and Summerside Electric to remain prepared and continue to conserve energy when possible.
