A fault on the national grid caused a power outage affecting 84,000 Wellington customers for approximately one and a half hours this afternoon.
The fault occurred in the Wilton sub-station, where "vital maintenance" was being undertaken on one of the "buses" delivering a power feed to central Wellington, grid operator Transpower said.
Another bus at the substation, which was carrying load instead, failed, removing the back-up that is always supposed to be available while maintenance is occurring.
Power was restored just before 4.30pm.
