Planning ahead for unplanned power outage during the winter season

Submitted by sglaeske on

Qulliq Energy Corporation (QEC) is committed to providing Nunavummiut with safe and reliable power. However, bad weather can sometimes interrupt the power supply to customers causing unplanned outages.

In the event of a power outage, customers are asked to call QEC’s 24 hour emergency line at 1-867-222-3807 to report the outage.

QEC would like to remind Nunavummiut to plan ahead for a power outage by having an emergency kit in their homes with enough supplies to last at least 72 hours. The emergency kit should include essentials such as drinking water, dried food, flashlight with fresh batteries, first aid kit, warm clothes, and medication.
