flag Yukon officials warn of possible rotating blackouts in Whitehorse due to record electricity demand during extreme cold, with December 22’s peak of 123 megawatts nearing the grid’s 140-megawatt limit. flag Officials say demand could rise by 40 megawatts in five years, and public efforts to reduce usage during peak hours could prevent outages. flag The Whitehorse Power Centres Project, including new thermal plants and a substation, is planned as a long-term solution, while a transmission line to British Columbia may provide backup. flag Officials stress that self-reliance is essential, and blackouts remain a last resort.
