Power Outage in Juneau
A power outage occurred in Juneau on Tuesday at 11 a.m., affecting the entire area. Alaska Electric Light & Power (AEL&P) switched to diesel back-up generation about an hour later and restored regular hydropower by 2 p.m.
According to Debbie Driscoll, vice president of AEL&P, the outage was caused by an issue on a transmission line south of the city, between the west terminal near Taku Inlet and the Thane substation. However, staff were unable to identify the cause, and the transmission line was not damaged.
It's possible, when we've had situations like that, that a tree branch comes into contact with the line and clears or wildlife comes in contact with the line and clears the line.
Driscoll noted that recent power disruptions in North Douglas, caused by a squirrel, a tree, and an equipment issue, are unrelated to Tuesday's outage.
AEL&P is still investigating the cause of the outage.
