Chugach Electric Project Includes Planned Outages for Girdwood

Community notified of eight-hour outage June 28/29 

A project at the Girdwood Substation will include planned outages for the community this year. The first is set for 11 pm June 28 to 7 am June 29.

Chugach Electric Association will be replacing the enclosure that houses substation controls located in the Girdwood Old Townsite behind the Tesoro Mall. At least two Girdwood-wide outages will be necessary to safely complete the project.  After soliciting input from the community, the first outage has been scheduled for the overnight hours, beginning at 11 p.m. on Tuesday, June 28 and ending by 7 a.m. on Wednesday, June 29. 

One – and perhaps two – additional outages will be necessary later in the year and will be announced when scheduled. Chugach will continue to work with the Girdwood community to pick best dates and times for future planned outages.
