UPDATE: Tuesday, December 30, 6:30 am – HEA is using the Gerry Willard Generation Plant in Seldovia to restore power to most of the HEA members affected by an outage last night. This morning the plant is providing power from Seldovia to McDonald Spit. There are 91 meters between McDonald Spit and McKeon Flats that remain without power this morning. Weather permitting, HEA crews will send a crew to the area this morning to make repairs.
