Companies installed a new underwater electrical transmission line between Wrangell and Petersburg in July. Some work remains before that new power line is supplying electricity to Petersburg. And it’s not yet clear what broke the old cable.
The new three and a half miles of transmission line replaces a section of the Southeast power grid that failed in September of 2019. It’s between Vank and Woronkofski islands, near Wrangell and crosses a section of the Stikine Strait that gets as deep as 700 feet.
