As of 3:20 p.m. local time, Hydro Quebec reported more than 490,000 customers without power across the province, albeit some of that was due to protection mechanisms related to the forest fires in the Baie-James area, which had disrupted three transit lines.
“We are currently working to restore power on those lines,” the organization stated.
