Ways Saskatoon Light & Power customers can stay informed and safe during power outages

Residential and commercial Saskatoon Light & Power customers can stay updated on power outages in real-time with two convenient options:

1. Outage Page: Visit saskatoon.ca/Outages to view current outages and status updates.

Winter outage safety tips:

• Stay safe: Avoid using candles for lighting to prevent fire hazards; use flashlights instead. Do not use propane heat inside unless the heater is specifically rated for indoor use.
• Unplug electronics: Disconnect sensitive electronics to protect them from power surges when electricity is restored.
• Keep fridge closed: Minimize opening your refrigerator and freezer to keep food cold longer.
• Stay warm: Add layers of clothing or blankets if needed.
• Check on neighbors: Ensure that elderly or vulnerable neighbors are safe and have what they need.
• Have a backup power supply: Have a generator or backup supply. Use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) for essential equipment.
• Get a surge protector: Prevent costly damage to appliances; get surge protectors for electronics or install a whole-house surge protector.
