ENMAX is also worried about critical infrastructure being damaged, which Could have widespread power outage consequences throughout Northwest Calgary. The crews I’m working with have never seen anything like this.

There is a substation very close to home road that does power a decent chunk of the area, however the good news is that all of the incoming HV lines are above ground. I would assume that doesn’t get us out of the weeds though.
Important to note is that all this equipment survived or was quickly replaced after the 2013 flood and I believe there’s no reason to fret over the electrical side.
But I’m just a dumb electrician, lefty loosey righty tighty.
