Update 3/12/20
Spring break power outages postponed
The spring break power outages have been postponed. The outages were originally scheduled March 23-24 to allow for critical utility maintenance and testing.
“Because of the steps the UO has taken to help limit the spread of the novel coronavirus, we have made the decision to postpone the power outages,” said Mike Harwood, associate vice president of Campus Planning and Facilities Management. “This will keep staff available to be part of the university’s response to the virus.”
CPFM is working closely with the Incident Command Team and will reassess the situation in mid-April.
For questions, contact the CPFM Work Control Center at 541-346-2319 or visit the power outage website for updates.

The Utilities and Energy department will conduct maintenance on feeder breakers that will require short duration power outages on Monday, March 23rd and Tuesday, March 24th. Most buildings on campus will experience brief duration power outages lasting approximately 10 minutes plus building restoration time. This utility maintenance is critical for the continued safe operation of the campus electrical system.
On Monday, the feeder shutdowns and planned outages will start at 8:00 am and buildings will experience a brief outage at a scheduled time based on building feeder. On Tuesday, the entire campus will move from EWEB power onto full campus power temporarily to test the backup generator system at the Central Power Station at 8:00 am. During the testing, the power to campus may be lost if a portion of the system does not perform as expected.
