Power has been re-stored after a wide-spread outage rocked most of the metro area this morning.
It was just after 8:30am that Saint John Energy had a problem with it's power station on Union Street.
President and CEO Eric Marr tells CHSJ News, power was lost after a bus-duct, which connects the transformer to switching gear failed.
Crews quickly isolated the problem, called NB Power and asked them to start sending electricity back through the system.
The outage lasted for less than an hour.
No official word on how many customers were with-out electricity but Marr estimates it was close to eight thousand homes and businesses.
