The relatively storm free summer is good news for Manitoba Hydro.  Manitoba Hydro is pleased with the lack of power outages this summer.  Spokesperson Jim Peters attributes the few outages this year to the weather, noting last summer was storm plagued and was rough on the system. 
Peters adds the system is vulnerable to weather.  If there is a power outage Peters explains Manitoba Hydro crews are dispatched and will deal with the problem as quickly as possible, he adds crews pride themselves on response times.
