Qulliq Energy Corporation (QEC) would like to inform the community of Sanirajak that planned power outages may occur from October 8 to 12 while crews work to complete repairs on the power plant and distribution systems.
Since Tuesday, October 6, QEC staff have been working locally and remotely to restore power to customers in the community. Weather conditions prevented Iqaluit based maintenance and line crews from travelling to help with restoration efforts.
Once weather conditions improved, additional QEC staff travelled to Sanirajak late Wednesday, October 7, and have been working on site to make required repairs to the power plant and distribution systems. Further power outages may be required while crews work to complete the repairs. If a planned power outage is required, QEC will inform residents in advance through social media and local radio.
QEC thanks residents for their understanding and apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause.
