由于创纪录的寒冷和电力需求上升，怀特霍斯可能面临轮流停电，促使节能工作和长期基础设施规划。 Whitehorse may face rotating blackouts due to record cold and rising power demand, prompting conservation efforts and long-term infrastructure plans.

育空地区官员警告怀特霍斯可能轮流停电, 因为在极端寒冷时期电力需求创下记录, 12月22日最高电压123兆瓦, 接近电网140兆瓦的极限。 Yukon officials warn of possible rotating blackouts in Whitehorse due to record electricity demand during extreme cold, with December 22’s peak of 123 megawatts nearing the grid’s 140-megawatt limit. 官员说,五年内需求可能会增加40兆瓦,公众努力减少高峰时段的用量可以防止断电。 Officials say demand could rise by 40 megawatts in five years, and public efforts to reduce usage during peak hours could prevent outages. 怀特霍斯电力中心项目,包括新的热电厂和分电站,是作为一项长期解决办法而规划的,而向不列颠哥伦比亚省传输的输电线可以提供后备。 The Whitehorse Power Centres Project, including new thermal plants and a substation, is planned as a long-term solution, while a transmission line to British Columbia may provide backup. 官员们强调,自力更生至关重要,停电仍然是万不得已的最后手段。 Officials stress that self-reliance is essential, and blackouts remain a last resort.
