Update: As of 9:50 a.m. power has been restored on campus. A statement from the UTM Physical Plant said that Weakley County Electric lost a substation that serves the campus, causing faults in the generator plant.

Areas of campus are still experiencing inconsistencies in Wi-Fi and A/C. Martin is currently under a heat advisory that is expected to expire late Tuesday, Sept. 15. 

The University of Tennessee at Martin campus is without power again Monday morning. All campus buildings including residences were without power as of 8:40 a.m., with the Weakley County Municipal Electric System (WCMES) Outage Map showing 2 outages reported – both located on the UTM campus. Standard procedure would typically result in the campus-wide generator kicking on after approximately 10 minutes, which has yet to occur. As of 9 a.m. the university has not yet issued a statement about the outages.

This story will be updated as more information becomes available.
