Power has been restored to almost 650 people after damage to an electrical pole caused blackouts in the East End.
A Belco spokesman confirmed that customers in St George’s were now back online after about two hours of repairs.
He added that an investigation into how the pole was damaged is ongoing.
The outage was reported around 11am and affected about 648 residents.
The power loss affected those in the GE01, GE02, GE03 and GE05 postcodes, which stretch from the Railway Trail in Ferry Point Park to Red Coat Lane North.
