Frustration was mounting on Monday for Quebecers still without power five days after a major ice storm, as the province’s hydro utility worked to reconnect the remaining homes and businesses cut off from the grid.
Erin Robert, a resident of Gatineau, said her home was part of a “small pocket” of hydro customers in the area across from Ottawa without power. Robert said it was “unacceptable” that residents still had no electricity — and no word about when it might return.
Hydro-Quebec said it hoped to restore power on Monday to nearly all the tens of thousands of customers still without electricity since Wednesday’s storm. Roughly 35,000 homes and businesses remained cut off across Quebec as of 1:30 p.m., with the majority in the Montreal, Outaouais, Monteregie and Laval regions.Article content
The message didn’t appear to satisfy some residents, who turned to social media to speak of disrupted Easter plans, spoiled food and absent hydro crews. Some said the power had come back only partially, or that it had gone back out after being restored.
