REGINA – SaskPower will be installing wildlife protection on power poles in south Regina hoping to reduce the number of unplanned power outages in the area.
SaskPower will begin installation in the coming weeks, and these power outages should be relatively short, with about 15-30 homes losing power for 1-2 hours at a time.
