LAKE PLACID — There will be a power outage across the entirety of the 12946 zip code — which includes Lake Placid and parts of Ray Brook — starting at 10 p.m. today and ending at 6 a.m. tomorrow.

No customers in Ray Brook will be impacted, according to Lake Placid village Electric Superintendent Kimball Daby.

This scheduled outage will allow National Grid to work on their transmission line, which transmits power from Ray Brook to Lake Placid. The line originates in Malone.

The sum total of Lake Placid’s electric customers are seen as one customer in National Grid’s books due to the power supply for the town coming from this single transmission line. This means that the whole town must lose power for them to do maintenance and repairs on this line.

This is not the first lengthy scheduled outage that Lake Placid has experienced in the past year. According to Daby, there was a 10-hour-long outage on Sept. 20, 2022 and a four-hour-long outage on Dec. 6, 2022 — both scheduled to allow National Grid to complete maintenance and repairs. Both outages were also scheduled overnight — the September outage lasting from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. and the December outage from 1 a.m. to 5 a.m.

The village Electric Department typically schedules outages to happen overnight.
