BPA schedules last overnight outage impacting Troy
Troy will be without power later this week after a planned outage by the Bonneville Power Administration.
According to a BPA news release, the overnight outage will occur from 11 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 9, until 6 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 10. This outage and two other outages taken in August are necessary to replace a circuit breaker that failed in May.
In August, BPA took outages to perform maintenance in preparation for installation of the new breaker. This final outage was scheduled to occur on Thursday, Sept. 26 but was canceled due to high winds in the area that interrupted power. That windstorm damaged three BPA lines in multiple locations. The crew scheduled to do the planned overnight maintenance work redirected its efforts to identifying and repairing the windstorm damage.
