As we approach the stormy months of 2025, businesses across Ontario are bracing for the impact of severe weather events. Recent forecasts and historical data indicate an increased likelihood of power outages due to ice storms, heavy winds, and flooding. For instance, in March 2025, over 350,000 customers in Ontario experienced power outages caused by a severe ice storm, with areas like Orillia declaring a state of emergency due to extensive power outages and hazardous roads Reuters.
These outages can have devastating effects on businesses, leading to:
Operational Disruptions: Power loss can halt production lines, close retail operations, and disrupt services.
Revenue Loss: Extended outages can result in significant financial losses due to halted sales and services.
Data Loss: For tech-dependent businesses, power interruptions can lead to data corruption or loss.
