Unplanned Outages Load moreUPDATE: 10 am - power is full restored. For now. Stay off the roads if you can and report down lines if you see them but use extreme caution they could be live.
UPDATE: 8:30 am - Transmission line repaired - now on to the next thing! Have patience as we work our way through the various repairs. These winds are keeping us on our toes.
Tree in transmission line has caused all of Orcas to be out of power. Below is the crew working on a different tree tangled in a power line. There is equipment to repair as a result. Power won’t be restored for some time.

OPALCO is gearing up for our winter storm. Trucks are gassed up, chainsaws sharp - we are ready! Are you?
Who is your outage buddy? Have adequate batteries and food? Sleds ready to go? Please check on your neighbors and friends during these extreme weather conditions.
A couple reminders - if you see down power lines - they could still be energized. Be extremely careful and call our outage line to report (have an exact location ready). (360) 376-3500, press 1. If you call or look online and there is no outage reported - then please call to report. If you stay on the line you will be able to talk with someone from our 24/7 call center.
We will post pictures and updates as they come in. Our first priority is safety and getting your power on. So have patience and rest assured our excellent crews are on it!

OPALCO members - stay safe! Be prepared for all condidtions. Who is your outage buddy?
Have someone to check in with during these winter conditions.
#outagesHopefully most islanders are aware of the fact that there’s snow in the forecast for this weekend and into next week. It’s been a while since we’ve had a good stretch of winter weather in the islands, so this is a great opportunity to remind everyone to let common sense be your guide if the snow starts to fall: If it’s storming out and there’s snow on the roads, stay home if at all possible. Give the hard working road crews a chance to do their jobs. Be prepared for being stuck at home for up to a week or so, and be ready for extended power outages. This is just basic island living 101. This is doubly true for those living on hills, at higher elevations, and far from town. Keep an eye on neighbors, family, and friends who might need an extra hand. Taking care of each other is the island way. Don’t call 911 to report power outages or check on road conditions. The OPALCO crews are amazing, rest assured they’ll be out working at the first sign of an outage. Refresh yourself on various OPALCO outage info sources at: https://www.opalco.com/outages/ And if you want, brush up on winter weather preparedness at www.sanjuandem.net/winter Stay warm, stay safe.
