The station was being used as an emergency supply for southern Manitoba during the winter months, Hydro said.

A fire at a downtown Manitoba Hydro station left about 3,000 customers without power overnight.

Manitoba Hydro says it has reached an agreement with another group of workers to avoid temporary layoffs at the Crown Corporation.

The COVID-19 pandemic has cost Manitoba Hydro about $26 million in revenue so far while the public utility deals with a substantial drop in exports and domestic commercial use.

'Three days of unpaid leave for every employee would eliminate layoffs entirely,' Hydro spokesman Bruce Owen wrote in an email.

An agreement has been reached between four First Nations and Manitoba Hydro after blockades were set up at the Keeyask Generating Station.

Manitoba Hydro says work on the Keeyask project is being delayed and it has moved into "care and maintenance status" as blockades continue in the area.

Members of northern Manitoba First Nations who are worried about the spread of COVID-19 say they will maintain blockades set up at the entrance to a hydroelectric construction site despite a court injunction.

A court injunction is ordering members of a Manitoba First Nation who are worried about the spread of COVID-19 to remove a blockade set up at a hydroelectric construction site.

Hundreds of Manitoba Hydro employees will be receiving pink slips starting this week to help with cost-saving measures during the COVID-19 pandemic.
