These firsthand accounts keep the legend alive. We've had big storms since, but no one seems to forget this one.
Groundhog Day, 1976 - not shadows, a storm.
Winds hit 188 km/h.
Tides peaked.
150+ poles snapped.
Every SJE (then "Civic Hydro") customer lost power.
Crews worked for days in freezing temperatures to rebuild.
Where were you during the #GroundhogDayGale? #CommunityResilience

Winter bills hitting different? 💡
Your rate + higher usage = bigger bills. Cold weather means your home works overtime to stay warm.
Check your kWh vs. last month to see the full picture. Small changes like lowering your thermostat a degree or two can help.
#LearnEnergy
The Burchill wind farm is doing the heavy lifting in today’s deep freeze and snowstorm, producing nearly 42 MW of renewable power for Saint John homes and businesses.

Brrr, Saint John, it's getting colder this week. ❄️
When temps drop, your home works harder.

Small changes help:
- lower your thermostat 1–2 degrees
- layer up to stay cozy and in control

At peak, up to 15,000 customers lost power when a transmission line and 4 poles on Westfield Rd went down; power was restored quickly and 2 crews still supported NB Power in Rothesay. #NBstorm
