Power are been restored to homes in the Annex and Rosedale neighbourhoods after an outage that started around 6 a.m. on Sunday.

Power was completely restored around 6 p.m. to the 7,000 homes that were impacted. Toronto Hydro had said they were hoping to get power back to all customers by 1 p.m. but around noon, they said the repairs were taking longer.

Toronto Hydro spokesperson Kaitlyn Woods said the cause of the outage was initially from a tree that fell on some wires, but the outage became a bigger problem because of “equipment failure” from a power station.

“Toronto Hydro crews are now going to be looking further into what caused this equipment failure,” said Woods.

The hydro distribution company, which serves over 750,000 customers in the Toronto area, tweeted that the outage ranged from Mount Pleasant Rd. west to Ossington Ave., and from College St. north to St. Clair Ave.
