Quebecer Stéphan Perreault and his team of linemen have been helping restore power in North Carolina since Hurricane Helene hit in late September, and they don't expect to be heading home any time soon.

A fierce storm system that brought thunder, lightning and freezing rain to parts of Quebec and Ontario has more than a million hydro customers still in the dark.

Utility crews in Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick were still working on Tuesday, December 27, 2022, to restore electricity to thousands of people in the dark days after last week's fierce winter storms knocked out their power.

A major winter storm is bearing down on Ontario and Quebec, with residents being warned to reconsider travel plans as conditions could get hazardous. 

One week after a severe wind and thunderstorm swept through Ontario and Quebec, just over 48,000 homes in the two provinces were still without power on Saturday, May 28, 2022.

Emergency crews rushed to restore power and clear roads on Sunday, May 22, 2022, a day after a deadly and destructive storm swept across southern Ontario and Quebec, though officials cautioned that some of the outages could take days to resolve.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford says he won't apologize for steps he took to "clean up the mess" at Hydro One despite a stunning assessment by a Washington state regulator that there was too much political interference to allow a merger with U.S. energy company Avista Corp.

As the two party leaders intent on knocking Kathleen Wynne out of the premier’s office this year talked about their plans for Hydro One, utilities commissioners in Washington were watching and listening. And they were becoming increasingly concerned that a merger between Hydro One and Spokane-based Avista Corp. would always be at risk of political interference.

Hydro Ottawa says more than 170,000 customers were without power early this morning as a result of the twister, which blew through Ottawa, Dunrobin, Ont., and Gatineau, Que., late Friday afternoon.

The act that will regulate Hydro One compensation has been proclaimed, Premier Doug Ford said on Wednesday, one that will regulate board compensation and require cabinet approval for any changes.

The rising contender in Ontario's provincial election also says she would look to cap electricity company profits and not renew some expiring power contracts.

Chunks of ice crashing down from the CN Tower following a weekend of freezing rain forced the closure of the Toronto landmark and damaged the roof of a nearby baseball stadium, prompting the Toronto Blue Jays to cancel on Monday, April 16, 2018, night's game against the Kansas City Royals.

Speaking at the Hilton Toronto, the leader of the Progressive Conservative party said "real people" in Ontario have been hurt by the Liberal government, and his plan to change that includes overhauling the electricity service provider.

Ontario NDP leader Andrea Horwath said Saturday it makes no difference who leads the province's Progressive Conservative party, even if former leader Patrick Brown is back in the race.

The Ontario government is contributing $150,000 to the Canadian Red Cross to help people in the Caribbean recovering from hurricane Irma.
