LIHU‘E — A tripped generator caused short-term power outages at “various pockets” around Kaua‘i on Monday afternoon, according to multiple witnesses and the Kaua‘i Island Utility Cooperative.
Sources said outages reached from Wailua to Kapahi on the East side, backing up traffic and closing multiple business in Kapa‘a. Reports of outages also flowed in from Kilauea on the North Shore.
A KIUC spokesperson said a generator tripped, causing various pockets around the island, rather than one specific area, to lose power at 4:12 p.m.
The spokesperson said a different generator was brought online, and later said power to all areas of the island was restored at 4:36 p.m.
