8:15am – All Arrowhead members should once again have power.  All members are being served via the GRE transmission line.  A piece of equipment in the area of the Cascade substation was the cause of the problem.  Any members without power should call Arrowhead at 218-663-7239 to report a problem. 

At approximately 6:25am Cook County experienced a County wide power outage.  The outage has originated in the area of Cascade River State Park.  AEC members in Schroeder, Tofte, Lutsen and up the Caribou Trail currently have power restored.  Members in the Maple Hill, Grand Portage, Hovland, and Gunflint Trail region are on the Great River Energy back-up generators.  The generators are having unknown troubles at the moment and power may from time to time become interrupted in these areas.  GRE is working on this issue.

Members in the Cascade Beach Road, Pike Lake and Thompsonite Beach area are without power while Arrowhead crews search for the problem on the Great River Energy transmission line.  As Arrowhead is able to provide time estimates for power restoration or further details we will update this message and provide information to WTIP 90.7, 891.1 & 90.1 in Grand Portage.

Members with specific concerns or questions are encouraged to call the office at 218-663-7239
