Overnight blackout hits Scarborough
TORONTO, ONTARIO - A power outage affected a large part of Scarborough the evening of August 20, due to transformer poll problems.
Around midnight, some traffic lights and many homes in the area experienced a blackout that spread west from Markham Rd. to Victoria Park Ave., and south from Ellesmere Rd. to Lake Ontario.
While the outage lasted around four hours, Toronto Hydro reported the problem concerned Hydro One and that crews were on scene, working to restore power.

Utilities see benefits in energy storage, even without mandates
WASHINGTON - The rankings do not tally how much energy storage a utility built or owns, but how much was connected to their system. So while IPL built and owns the storage facility in its territory, Duke does not own the 16 MW of storage that connected to its system in 2016. Similarly, while California’s utilities are permitted to own some energy storage assets, they do not necessarily own all the storage facilities connected to their systems.
Measured by energy (MWh), IPL ranked fourth with 20 MWh, and Duke Energy Ohio ranked eighth with 6.1 MWh.
