A system-wide power outage that affected Yellowknife, Dettah and Behchoko is now reported to be over.
The Northwest Territories Power Corporation (NTPC) first announced the power outage on Twitter Wednesday afternoon, shortly after the outage was felt in Yellowknife.
In an email, NTPC spokesperson Doug Prendergast said a lightning strike on the Snare hydro facility transmission line appeared to be the cause of the outage.

Residents of BehchokÇ«Ì, N.W.T., can expect a power outage this afternoon, after a piece of heavy equipment toppled a power pole, knocking out power and preventing people from travelling in or out of Rae.Â
The road out of Rae has since reopened, but there will be a planned outage this afternoon to complete repairs, said the Northwest Territories Power Corporation.
The access road was blocked as the power corporation undertook initial repairs to de-energize the infrastructure, the power corporation says.
A spokesperson for the corporation said he would be pursuing other opportunities.
