Road salt is making the GTA lights flicker — Alectra warns more outages may hit Vaughan and Peel

Road salt is making the GTA lights flicker — Alectra warns more outages may hit Vaughan and Peel

Alectra Utilities on Tuesday said it’s brought in additional crews to deal with a surge of power outages and voltage spikes across York Region—mostly in Vaughan—and some areas of Peel Region. The company pointed to salt and other road de-icers used during the prolonged winter cold as the main culprits. More outages could hit in the coming days, Alectra warned. Interruptions keep hitting right in the middle of a winter that’s already pushed the power grid to its limits in the outer suburbs of the Greater Toronto Area.

The iShares Semiconductor ETF barely budged; AMD dropped 2%, Intel sagged 1.2%, but Broadcom tacked on about 2%. Nvidia’s Ian Buck described Meta’s initial tests of the Vera processor as “very promising.”
