We noticed this handy new feature from Toronto Hydro. You can register to be notified by email if there is a power outage affecting your home, and also once the power is restored. This would be handy if you are away on vacation or at work or even if you just want to know why the lights just went off.
Log in and click on “Outage Notifications”:
