STILL IN THE ONTARIO WINTER DARKNESS AND COLD

The Ontario Energy Board confirmed Thursday that one month after the legislature passed its bill banning winter cut-offs, about half of the affected customers are without still power. The OEB says when the ban went into effect on Feb. 23, 845 residential customers were disconnected and 831 had load limiters.

Their most recent information shows that 407 of those customers had their power connected. Fewer than 150 customers still have load limiters.
