Report a Problem

At Thunder Bay Hydro, we understand that your electricity service is very important at all times. When we are working in your area, we will provide general notices to warn you of expected power outages.

Sometimes we do not have the ability to control the source of power interruptions. Storms, equipment failures and interference with our lines by animals and trees can be out of our control.

Power Outage Emergency

Electricity in its place can be managed safely. But power lines pack a powerful and deadly punch when they are out of place. Let us know if you see

  1. Power lines down
  2. A damaged hydro pole
  3. Sparks or Fires around power lines
  4. No electricity

When to call 911

If you see a power line down or a fire or sparks on local power lines, call 911 and ask for the Fire Department to attend.

When to call the Power Outage line
