Hydro-Québec is gradually resolving outages around the province after nearly 500,000 customers were without power on Tuesday.
As of 2:30 p.m., the number of people without service was around 32,000. About 75 per cent of those customers are in Montérégie.
Earlier in the day, there was a large number of outages in and around Montreal and Quebec City.
Earlier this month, an ice storm knocked out power for more than one million customers.
A spokesperson for Hydro-Québec said there was a “loss of production” from turbo generators at the generating station in Churchill Falls, N.L., which led to automatic shutdowns on the network.
