ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – Thousands of Duke Energy customers in Orange and Seminole counties had their power restored after a Christmas Eve outage, according to a spokesperson with the company.
Around 9 p.m., the company reported that 2,706 customers in the East Orange County and Seminole County area were without power. By 11 p.m., the outages were restored, according to Duke Energy.
The outages come at a time when Central Florida is experiencing one of the coldest Christmases on record, with highs on Sunday struggling to climb out of the 40s.
A representative from Duke Energy said the cause of the outage was an underground cable failure.
