Kent Campus Returns to Full Power Following Outage

First Energy restored power by mid-day Tuesday

Âé¶¹¹û¶³'s Kent Campus returned to full power Tuesday afternoon after operating with limited electrical power following an outage earlier that morning.  

The outage was addressed at the university's Summit Street Power Plant, which provided backup electricity for about nine hours in "island mode" to prioritize essential facilities.

The Kent Campus outage led to courses moving to remote instruction for the day and mirrored other outages across Portage County.
