The electrical issue on the Berkeley campus has been resolved, and power has been restored.

At 6:25 p.m., the campus experienced a power outage affecting approximately 50 buildings. High-voltage electricians identified the source of the outage and estimated that it would take 6-8 hours to fully restore power. It was noted that confirming all building systems are fully functional could take additional time, potentially continuing through Thursday morning.

The Emergency Operations Center was activated in response to the incident. Students and staff in residence halls were contacted directly with further instructions.
