Power has been restored to all areas affected by today's outage except Porter Creek, Tagish and Carcross. We continue to work with ATCO Electric Yukon to restore power to these communities as quickly & safely as possible.

1:15 p.m. update:

Yukon Energy and ATCO Electric Yukon crews are onsite working to restore power to all areas affected by today's outage. At this time, crews expect all power to be restored around 2:30 this afternoon.

12:30 p.m.:

We're working with ATCO Electric Yukon to restore power to customers in parts of Whitehorse, communities south of Whitehorse and Mayo as quickly and safely as we can right now.

At this time, the outage appears to be caused by a trip on the transmission line between Aishihik and Whitehorse. When this happens, we lose access to the power being generated at our Aishihik power plant.
