Power was restored to about 2,000 Centretown homes at approximately 10:55 a.m. March 26 after an almost nine-hour long outage.
High winds and unusual weather were to blame, said Rebecca Turcotte, a Hydro Ottawa spokesperson.
Affected homes lost power at around 2:35 a.m. on March 26 after howling gusts caused damage to Hydro Ottawa equipment, said Turcotte.
“Some customers did receive their power earlier, but all customers did have power as of 10:55 a.m.,” she said.
The power outage affected homes in the Booth, Albert and Somerset streets-area.
