Residents in the Carcross area were affected by an unexplained power failure on Sunday.

ATCO Electric Yukon posted on social media that afternoon “we are experiencing an unplanned outage in the Carcross and South Klondike Highway areas. 

“Our crews have been dispatched but there is no ETA on restoration at this time. We will provide an update as more details are available.”

Power was restored within an hour – without an explanation of the problem.

“Power has been safely restored to all customers affected by the outage in Carcross and South Klondike Highway areas,” ATCO said.

The company did not respond to a request for further details by The Yukon Star.
