November Outage Sparks A Response

Since Tuesday, Treasure Island has experienced long periods of power outages due to an equipment failure at the Port of Oakland, where the Island’s power is routed from. All residents and businesses are severely impacted.

Since then, backup generators have been providing power. Last night at midnight, the generators failed and residents have been without power since midnight. City agencies have formed an emergency coordination team to provide interim and long term solutions to this incident.

The following actions are being taken:

1. Emergency Mutual Aid has been requested to state and regional partners to provide replacement parts as soon as possible

2. Emergency backup crews are en route from Modesto to the Port of Oakland to fix the underlying cause

3. PUC is simultaneously attempting to repair the broken generator and awaiting delivery of a backup generator

4. TIDA is setting up community charging stations near residential areas
