Power Outages Across Cary
Cary, NC – Early this morning, power outages were reported across Cary, affecting around 10,000 residents and Town of Cary facilities.
The power outage, which appears to have happened around 10 AM today, resulted in homes losing electricity, traffic lights going out and town properties closing.
By around 11:30 AM, power began to be restored, including at traffic lights around town.
Update: according to Duke Energy, the power outage was caused by a substation malfunction. All customers connected to the substation, around 12,000, therefore faced an outage. Duke Energy said the malfunction was corrected after 48 minutes.
