Power outage issue in Griswold temporarily resolved
September 17th, 2019 by Ric Hanson
Issues that resulted in power outages a little after midnight today, in Griswold, were thought to have been temporarily fixed. Geoff Greenwood, spokesman for Mid-American Energy told KJAN News there was an equipment problem at a substation in Griswold. The piece that failed helps to keep voltage constant. Greenwood said crews took the time to identify what the issue was, and made a switch around the defective equipment until a more permanent repair can be made. There were still some intermittent outages, though, as of 6:30-a.m.
Greenwood said he will get in touch with the control center who told him the issue was resolved, to get an update.
About 400 customers had their power going on-and-off during the night, in Griswold, while the problem was being located and resolved.
