All of Kauaʻi lost power Thursday afternoon after an electrical unit failed at the Port Allen power station.
The Kauaʻi Island Utility Cooperative said on social media that they lost generation at Port Allen around 2 p.m. due to a transformer failure, which led to the island-wide outage.
Around 3 p.m., KIUC said that power was restored. However, some areas still experienced outages since the utility restored energy to individual areas at a time.
"Within 90 minutes almost all of KIUC's members were restored," the power utility said in a statement. "We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience."
At 4:30 p.m. Thursday, KIUC said there were still scattered outages for about 200 electricity meters throughout the island.
An outage map is available on the KIUC website.
