KPLU Staff update at 4:32 pm, Monday
The light are on again for more than 9,000 Orcas Power and Light customers in the San Juan Islands. A late morning outage was caused by a problem at a substation operated by the Bonneville Power Administration.
In a short statement from Orcas Power and Light's website:
Power has been restored to all members with the exception of scattered areas of San Juan Island. Outage was caused by equipment failure at the BPA transmission station.
It took a couple hours longer to restore power than had been anticipated. Most service was restored after 4 pm this afternoon.
Customers on San Juan, Orcas and Shaw islands were affected.
Lopez Island did not lose power.
