An electronic locking system provided with an electronic lock may include a lock detecting part to detect locking condition of the lock; a power outage-detecting part to detect power outage; a charging part to supply electric power to the lock during power outage; a power-supplying part to supply power to the lock and charging part; and a switching part structured such that power is supplied to the lock from the power-supplying part in a primary state, and power is supplied to the electronic lock from said charging part in a secondary state. The switching part is in said primary state during normal operation where no power outage is detected. The switching part is structured such that, when power outage is detected, said switching part is switched from said primary state to said secondary state.
