When will the power be back in Chugach, AK?
Our restoration forecast is independent and unofficial, never the utility's commitment. How it works · How accurate it has been
Alaska is not included in the federal government's county outage data.
Who serves Chugach?
Borough-wide coverage, with utility detail where available. Electric service in this borough is provided by Copper Valley Electric Association, Cordova Electric Cooperative, Chitina Electric and 2 others — we don't yet read their own live outage maps, and this borough is not covered by the nationwide county-by-county tally either — so we can't show a live count here. Territories overlap, so check your own address on the live map to confirm your provider.
Longer-term history: the federal outage records we use (EAGLE-I, 2014–2025) hold only one outage of 200 or more customers, too few to describe a pattern for this borough, so there is no longer-term figure to show here.
Electric service here is unusually self-contained: Cordova runs on Cordova Electric Cooperative's fully islanded system — no transmission lines connect it to any larger grid — powered mostly by the Power Creek (6 MW) and Humpback Creek (1.3 MW) hydro plants, while Valdez is served by Copper Valley Electric's Solomon Gulch hydro station (12 MW). When power fails here, restoration is entirely local by geography. (Cordova Electric Cooperative / CVEA)
