A major power outage blacked out a hefty region of Montreal on Thursday afternoon.
According to Hydro-Québec, approximately 65,000 customers were out of power due to the Hamsptead substation.
Affected areas included Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, Hampstead, Côte-Des-Neige, and Côte Saint-Luc.
The utility company says “the majority” of clients have had their power restored.

La majorité des clients touchés par cette #panne ont retrouvé le service. Le rétablissement est en cours pour les quelques clients restants.
La panne a été causée par l’ouverture des disjoncteurs lors de la mise en service d’un nouvel équipement dans le poste. https://t.co/pu33ojdmPE
