We all know the feeling when an unplanned power outage occurs. First, you might see a light flicker in your house. Then, maybe a second blip. And then, it happens.
Without any real warning, the lights go out, and that visceral feeling of fear and uncertainty, often felt deep in your gut, kicks in. Your day is immediately changed.
Preventing that situation is what keeps everyone at NB Power accountable to our customers and firm in our commitment to ensure they’re provided with a safe, reliable, and secure supply of electricity. We do everything we can to prevent these moments of unplanned power loss and work hard to get our systems back online so our customers can stay safe and warm and return to their personal and professional lives with as limited disruption as possible.
Energy security is a core part of our mandate. That means more than keeping the lights on during storms — it means ensuring New Brunswickers have a stable, dependable supply of electricity year-round, for today and for generations to come. The hard truth is that ensuring power for New Brunswickers is getting increasingly hard for us to deliver on.
With a growing demand for electrification from our customers who are rising in numbers, aging infrastructure, and a need to transition to produce cleaner energy, we need to act now if we want to ensure New Brunswickers continue to have access to the power they need when they need it.
