Yukon officials outline power concerns after cold snap tested grid capacity

WHITEHORSE — Officials in charge of Yukon's power grid say rotating blackouts are a "last resort," and neighbourhoods in Whitehorse need to prepare to be part of the rotation should the territory's grid be pushed to its limits again during a cold snap.Yukon Energy Minister Ted Laking warned last month that the territory's power grid was under significant strain, with customers setting "an all-time record" for peak demand on Dec. 22, beating another record set just weeks before.
