Historical outage patterns in Alaska

Federal outage records (EAGLE-I, kept by the U.S. Department of Energy) contain 2,774 area-level outage records (200+ customers at peak) in Alaska between 2014 and 2025 for the 8 areas the federal record covers — 53 of them major events of 10,000+ customers. Half were restored within about 3.5 hr, and area-level outages here have been most common in summer (32% of all records). The busiest year on record was 2022.

Statewide figures aggregate the same per-area records shown on each area page below; the statewide restoration figure is the typical (middle) value across the per-area typical times, weighted by how many records each area has. A area appears in a “widest area” month when that month produced one of its three largest recorded outages.

Common questions

How do I check power outages in Alaska?

This page lists live outage status for every area in Alaska, updated about every 15 minutes from the utilities' own live outage data we track and National Weather Service alerts — Alaska is not included in the federal government's county outage data. Open any area for its restoration outlook, or search your ZIP or address for the most specific view.

Which utilities serve Alaska?

Electric utilities we track in Alaska include Chugach Electric (Anchorage, AK), Golden Valley Electric (Fairbanks, AK), Kodiak Electric Assn (AK), Matanuska Electric Association (AK). Each restores its own service area — report an outage to your serving utility so crews can be dispatched.

When will power be restored in Alaska?

Restoration depends on the cause and scale of each outage, so it varies by area and utility. For each affected area with enough trend data we publish an independent restoration estimate — from the live outage count, the recovery rate, and weather — shown even before the utility posts an official time; very small or brand-new outages say so instead of guessing. Open an area above for its outlook.

How accurate are the estimates?

Every estimate is later graded against when the tracked outage was substantially restored (~90% of customers back), and the track record is published on our accuracy page. Statewide totals combine the federal county-by-county tally with utilities' own live outage data, so this page and the live map always show the same numbers.
