As part of our Campus high voltage distribution system upgrade project, we will be required to have a number of power interruptions. These power interruptions are necessary to transfer the power from the existing UPEI high voltage electrical switchgear located in the lower level of the Central Utility Building to the new high voltage electrical distribution system located in the new main electrical room recently added on to the Central Utility Building.

The schedule of power interruptions and associated buildings is listed below. This schedule may be required to be changed as we progress through the stages. Should that be required, I will send out a new Campus notice listing the updated schedule.

The emergency power generators will be started for each building prior to the beginning of the power interruption, which will mean there will be no delay of power for anything currently on emergency power when the power is disconnected.

Facilities Management apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause.  If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Jackie MacPhail at jmacphail@upei.ca or 902-566-6034.
