The issue was related to a failed switch in underground infrastructure, according to a Chugach spokeswoman.
Approximately 200 Chugach Electric customers lost power Wednesday afternoon because of an equipment malfunction underground, leading to the early closure of City Hall.The affected area runs from Third Avenue down to the north side of the Delaney Park Strip between A and L streets, a square that covers most of the central downtown business district, including City Hall and the Atwood Building, which houses many state offices.

Bill Roth / ADN) As of Wednesday afternoon, there was no explanation for what specifically caused the equipment failure. “We don’t get information from the field yet,” Hasquet said, adding that during an active outage, utility crews prioritize restoring service.
Hasquet said that there was no timeline for when electricity would return to impacted customers, but that once the failed switch was isolated, most businesses and buildings would be able to pick up power from other parts of the system.Zachariah Hughes covers Anchorage government, the military, dog mushing, subsistence issues and general assignments for the Anchorage Daily News.
