SPOKANE, Wash. Avista is planning to continue rolling blackouts through the week and possibly the weekend.
Avista held a press conference Tuesday addressing power outages in Spokane, as well as future outages expected in the area.
According to Heather Rosentrater, Avista’s Senior VP of Energy Delivery, four of their transformers had issues Monday due to higher than anticipated demand roughly 30% more than the transformers were designed to handle.
I’m at the @AvistaUtilities presser.
Last time we saw these kinds of temperatures was in 2015. Avista says Spokane’s growth has caused strain to the system. They’ve seen a 30% higher load than what their system is used to. Hence the power outages now. @kxly4news
