Almost 700 people in homes and businesses on the Sapphire Coast lost electricity access on Monday (June 19) afternoon.
The power went down for people in Merimbula as well as parts of Fishpen and Millingandi around 1.50pm.
Essential Energy Crews were dispatched to patrol the Reid Street area and discovered a fault on the high voltage overhead electricity network.
Crews worked quickly and safely to make repairs and had all affected customers power restored by 2.40pm.
Meanwhile, Just over 250 people around Timbara Crescent in Surfside will be affected by a planned power outage today (Tuesday June 20).
