Dowload the "GridWatch APP"
Ottawa is part of Power Grid: A system of wires that transports energy to areas that are in need.
Power can come to your home from as far away as the hydro power generation plant at Niagara Falls or the Nuclear Power generators in Pickering: from the Many Hydro electric dams along the Ottawa river; or even from the array of solar panels on the roof of Mother Teresa HS. Even your dump could provide power to your homes.
