Island-wide power outage hits Kauai
Kauai experienced an island-wide power outage Thursday afternoon after a transformer failed at the Port Allen Generating Station, according to a Kauai Island Utility Cooperative Facebook post.
The outage occurred at about 2:15 p.m. after the transformer failed. Within 90 minutes, “almost all of KIUC’s members were restored,” according to the post.
At 4:30 p.m., KIUC said there were still “scattered outages totaling roughly 200 meters throughout the island.” Restoration efforts are continuing.
