The electrical issue has been resolved, and power has been restored.

UPDATED 10 p.m.

At 6:25 p.m., the Berkeley campus began experiencing a power outage. As of this writing, there are approximately 50 buildings on campus without power.

High-voltage electricians are on-site and have identified the source of the outage. It is estimated that it will take 6-8 hours to fully restore power. Please note that even after power is restored, confirming that all building systems are fully functional will take some time. This work may continue through Thursday morning.
