Almost 500 homes in Blackford were left without power amid an unexpected blackout on Thursday.
SSE, who supply energy to the Perthshire village, said that around 489 customers were affected by the issue — which was reported shortly after 3.30pm.
Engineers were dispatched to deal with the problem and power was restored to all homes by 7pm.
Postcodes in the PH4 area south of Auchterarder were affected as well those who live within the FK15 postcode district – which includes Greenloaning and Dunblane.
One local resident told The Courier she had to travel to a relative’s house because of the disruption.
She said at the time: “We’ve been quite lucky this winter, especially in the storms and high winds.
“So far they are saying power should be restored by 7pm.
“A lot of people here work from home, including me, so it is causing some issues.”
An SSEN spokesperson confirmed that the fault had been repaired, adding: “We apologise to all our customers and thank them for their patience.”
