Dear SDSU Community,

San Diego State University has not been able to stabilize power to campus
while continuing to assess the reason why a partial power outage occurred
this morning, March 23, resulting in intermittent loss of power in several
buildings. Facilities Services continues to assess with SDG&E to determine
the source of the issue.

The following provides an update on mitigation and assessment plans:

SDSU continues to use generator power to help mitigate impacts to certain
campus locations. The university will move into a different operational
power mode today via our CoGen plant, beginning at 4:15 p.m. While we do
not anticipate an outage during this transition, those overseeing sensitive
equipment may want to shut them down until 4:30 p.m. today as a safety
measure. We will also replace a relay in Substation A on Friday morning at
4 a.m. to try and isolate and locate the source of the problem. There will
be a planned power interruption Friday morning between about 4 a.m. and 5
a.m. on the buildings fed from Substation A.

While additional disruptions are not expected during this time of ongoing
assessment, the campus community is asked to do the following between now
and Friday, March 25:

   - Avoid opening refrigerated units during any power interruption to help
   ensure that items will stay cold for a longer period of time.

   - If you experience any direct impacts and need support, call Facilities
   Services at 619-594-4754.

We are not aware of other impacts to campus at this time. Should campus
occupants experience any impacts, please call Facilities Services at
619-594-4754.
