How CD & Power Helped Bring Back Power Early to Coyote Point Recreation Area

April 17, 2024

When a storm hit Coyote Point Recreation Area with torrential rain and strong wind gusts, the aftermath was devastating. Over 200 downed trees created a widespread power outage that paralyzed operations not only within the recreation area but also neighboring facilities and utility customers. When faced with a daunting six-month timeline for grid power restoration, CuriOdyssey, a science playground and zoo located at Coyote Point, found itself in dire straits. 


CD & Power Steps In


Having previously worked with CD & Power’s for a generator to safeguard refrigeration, the Wildlife Director at CuriOdyssey knew they could rely on our expertise and worked with us to develop a plan. The primary concern was the welfare of the wildlife residents, but there was also the critical need for heating in staff spaces to maintain operational continuity.


CD & Power’s Expertise at Work

CD & Power collaborated closely with CuriOdyssey to devise a comprehensive solution. By implementing strategic recabling and other adjustments, we successfully powered the main building, enabling the vital reopening to visitors. Understanding the pressing nature of the situation, we swiftly delivered a rental generator to the site and arranged for a steady supply of fuel on a weekly basis.


Coyote Point Recreation Area: Results Achieved

Within a mere two weeks, CD & Power had addressed the initial power needs, providing a crucial lifeline for CuriOdyssey and its inhabitants. But our dedication didn’t stop there. Recognizing the importance of long-term sustainability, CD & Power ultimately delivered a more permanent solution that allowed the recreation area to fully reopen to the public in less than 90 days. By enabling the organization to maintain essential services then welcome paying customers, CD & Power played a pivotal role in sustaining its financial health during a period of uncertainty.

“The team at CD & Power was quick to respond. We appreciated that they understood the urgency of our situation. Figuring out a way for us to reopen to visitors months before utility power was going to be restored helped the organization tremendously,” explained Kathleen O’Brien, Director of Operations.

How We Got Started

CD & Power was established in 1985 by Chuck Uischner, [who is best known as “The Big Tall Bald Guy”]. Chuck would fix all kinds of industrial engines and equipment during the day, and then do books at night. Back in those days, the generator and engine parts department consisted of a small desk and a shelf. Chuck expanded his generator and engine repair business by taking chances, and surrounding himself with motivated people.

In 2013 Chuck transitioned ownership to his daughter, Jill Collaro as President, and his son Donald Uischner as Vice President. Now in our 30th year, CD & Power continues to be a family-run operation with a close-knit network of employees. Under Jill’s able leadership the company earned certification from the State of California as a WBE or Woman-Owned Business Enterprise.
