Biggest Alaska power outages since 2014
Statewide outage events recorded by DOE's EAGLE-I system since late 2014, with likely causes from NOAA storm reports
The largest power outage in Alaska since 2014 (Aug 24 – Sep 3, 2023) left as many as 66,842 customers (19.92% of the state) without power at once, driven by flooding. The next largest (May 14–17, 2023) peaked at 66,520 customers (Flooding).
By EAGLE-I's count, Alaska customers averaged about 6 hr 2 min without power per year from 2018 to 2025. The worst year was 2022, at 10 hr 22 min per customer.
Outages peak in December (20% of outage time). Outage time in Alaska has risen recently: about 7 hr 42 min per customer per year in 2022–2025, versus 4 hr 21 min in 2018–2021.

When outages happen
Source: DOE/ORNL EAGLE-I recorded electricity outages, 2014–2025 (CC BY 4.0), with likely causes from the NOAA NCEI Storm Events Database. EAGLE-I coverage was partial before 2018, so averages use 2018–2025. Peak counts are the highest number of customers out at one time.
