Entire province of PEI without power due to hurricane Fiona

I am not trivializing the destruction, but how many electric generation stations would PEI with it small size and population have?
And likely all of the electrical distribution is above ground.
More susceptible to wind damage but much faster to fix than damaged underground cabling
Say two feeder corridors gong east and west, from each generator since for fuel source means plant likely close to the coast.
So it is easy to see how all power would be out with huge winds and storm surge this storm walloped the area with.

Just did some web searching.
Most of PEI installed generation is wind turbine, which hopefully were furled and made it through the storm.
60% of PEI power normally comes from NB.
And I am sure that NB has its own fair share of storm disruption to work though to get things at least patched up a bit until a full restore can be affected.
Not enough density or population base to make economically feasible any natural gas distribution on PEI.
