1,000,000 Homes Without Power, Home Battery Price Relief Program

Ontario Power Outage
1,000,000 homes in Ontario have been left without electricity as power lines were brought down by freezing rain and ice over this past weekend. As of the writing of this post, over 200,000 homes have still not had their power restored.

This wasn’t done by a hurricane, this wasn’t a tornado, this wasn’t a tsunami, all these power lines were brought down by simple freezing rain.
Quite frankly, this event draws attention to the extreme fragility of our aging electrical grid in Canada, that a regular weather event can knock out the power for hundreds of thousands of people for days on end, and this applies across the country, not just in Ontario.
Losing power for any amount of time is disruptive to the modern way of living, where people need the internet to work from home, or need internet access to finish school projects etc.
We need power to keep the lights on, the heat on, and food in the fridge, Losing power is not just an inconvenience, it’s a safety concern.
