*Heavy typhoon damaged feeders
As of 1 p.m., Wednesday, June 7, 2023, the crews restored power to 61 percent of customer demand, which includes power to businesses and the government. More than 43 percent of residential accounts have been restored to island power.
A 12-member line crew from Snohomish PUD, Washington arrives Thursday to assist in recovery efforts. This team will concentrate on the transmission system restoration in order to bring reliability back to pre-typhoon conditions.
GPA reminds customers: “The island-wide power system (IWPS) may be unstable, with fluctuating voltages, power interruptions and intermittencies occurring during restoration and recovery especially after a strong typhoon. Outages or interruptions may occur after power has been restored. This is not unusual as the grid is fragile and period of system instability will occur until full restoration is completed. GPA will make every effort to have power restored as quickly as possible to its customers. Once full restoration is completed around the island, the system will stabilize and less power interruptions will occur.”
