Power is back on for hundreds of Prince Albert residents after multiple power outages on Tuesday.

The biggest one affected roughly 1,800 customers in the Crescent Heights area for about an hour.

SaskPower said that the outage was caused by a faulty piece of equipment.

Multiple outages were reported throughout the afternoon in West Flat, Nordale, Hazeldell and parts of downtown.

While power has been restored, Scott McGregor with SaskPower said you should always contact them if you experience an outage or any flickering lights.
