A large middle-of-the-night power outage across central Midtown Toronto left an unspecified number of Toronto Hydro customers in the dark Tuesday. The blackout hit at 12:19 am on Tuesday and was related to “an underground cable fault”. The outage stretched from Spadina Rd and to Mt. Pleasant Rd and from Eglinton Ave to Bloor St. At noon, Toronto Hydro said it had completed troubleshooting and was “taking steps to bring power back. We’re aiming to have power restored early this afternoon”.
Outage update: We’ve been able to successfully restore power to the majority of customers. Crews continue to work as quickly and safely as possible to bring power back for the remaining customers.
