ENWIN Utilities Ltd. Reports Multiple Outages Throughout the Night due to Inclement Weather

Frontline teams working diligently to correct remaining outages and restore power. 

February 23, 2023

Windsor, ON: Due to the inclement weather witnessed across Southern Ontario, ENWIN Utilities Ltd. (ENWIN) experienced multiple electrical outages, affecting approximately 25000, customers across our service area. 

Although outages were noted across the City, the region’s areas that were affected by the most outages were the South Windsor, Roseland, East Riverside, and Walkerville communities. 

Due to the weather, outages were caused by a variety of issues.  The primary cause of the outages was falling branches and trees due to the weight of the ice upon them across power lines. This repeatedly caused issues throughout the night as branches continued to fall. 

ENWIN teams worked throughout the night, removing line obstructions, and restoring feeders, returning power to the majority of customers.  However, isolated pockets remain affected.

The ENWIN team is committed to restoring service to those areas in a safe and timely manner.  Currently there are approximately 5000 customers remaining without power. 

ENWIN reminds their customers to avoid downed power lines and anything with which they may come in contact with, such as puddles of water and fences.  Please call ENWIN at 519-255-2727 to report a downed power line.

We thank the members of our community for their cooperation and patience during this difficult time.
