BC Hydro crews have made progress in restoring power to parts of the province, notably in the northern and central regions.
The service said most of the main electrical lines in and around Prince George have been restored, and work is increasingly focused on smaller pockets of customers and locations with significant damage.
That said, crews are seeing new outage reports, with additional outages expected as winds are expected to continue through late afternoon or early this evening, bringing trees and branches down onto power lines.
More than 180 workers are supporting the restoration effort, including crews and contractors from the North Interior, South Interior and Lower Mainland, along with additional specialized equipment and resources.
BC Hydro added work continues around the clock in and around Prince George, with the majority of customers expected to be restored later today (Wednesday), with crews continuing to work through the more complex repairs.
As work wraps up in Vanderhoof, crews will begin moving to Prince George today to provide additional support.
