- Large section of the City of Soldotna
- Forest Drive/St. Theresa (between Soldotna and Sterling)

- Strawberry Road (Soldotna)
- Aliak/Magic Ave. (Kenai)
- Halibut Cove

In addition to these outages, there are several smaller scattered outages across the Peninsula. HEA crews are working to restore power as soon as possible, but due to the number of outages and the strong winds, the duration of the outages is likely to be extended.
