All of San Juan Island will be affected by a planned power outage necessary for the OPALCO crew to energize newly relocated transmission lines.  This power outage will be during the night to minimize impact to OPALCO consumers. The outage will begin at approximately 11:00 pm on Wednesday, March 26 and power is expected to be restored on March 27 no later than 5 am. During this time, OPALCO crews will do the necessary work to energize the new power lines on Pear Point Road.

Thanks to everyone who is concerned for the crews who will be working on this outage tonight. We want to reassure everyone that the safety of our OPALCO crew is a top priority for us as well. Our crews are highly trained and are used to working safely in extreme conditions. They also are experienced enough to know when to cancel the work or find a good stopping point if the work conditions become unsafe. As of right now, the plan is to continue with the outage as scheduled, but we will be providing updates during the night if things change.
