You may have noticed that your digital clock may have jumped ahead overnight.
Calls started to come in at NL Hydro from people wondering why their stove or microwave is a few minutes ahead of other clocks.
NL Hydro indicates you’re not mistaken, some digital clocks did in fact jump forward due to NL Hydro’s attempts to balance the system to match customer demand following a period of high frequency overnight.
We’ve heard from many customers asking why clocks skipped a few minutes this morning. This was due to our system balancing to match customer demand following a period of high frequency overnight. We want to reassure this wasn’t a result of system/equipment related issues.
