Golden Valley Electric Association has restored service to all but about 2,000 of the 30,000 members who lost power.
Strong winds on Monday, July 25, 2022, toppled trees near Nicholas Fountain’s home in North Pole.
Bailey said the initial focus was on the more populated areas of Fairbanks, where repairs brought large numbers of customers back online. The last extended weather related GVEA power outage was caused by unusually heavy snow and rain this past Christmas. Bailey said this week’s similarly rare summertime high wind-caused outage is even worse in terms of impacts to electric infrastructure.
Bailey said most of the trees that fell onto lines were growing outside of the right-of-way, which the utility keeps clear. She cautions people about the danger posed by trees on power lines, and says so far GVEA is not aware of anyone being hurt.
