A faulty underground cable caused the huge power cut in Royston at the weekend.
The incident started Saturday morning and meant that supermarkets had to close and households were left without power. Further outages have also been reported since Saturday.
A spokeswoman for UK Power Networks told the Crow: Power was interrupted to 8,558 customers in Royston at 9.41am on Saturday due to a high voltage underground cable fault. UK Power Networks engineers worked quickly and safely to restore power to almost 2,000 customers before 10am with the majority of customers restored in stages by 1.30pm. 164 were restored before 3pm and the final customers by 5pm.
