The power outage affected 18 Regina neighborhoods Friday afternoon, with parts of southeast Saskatchewan also experiencing issues.

At 4:30 p.m., SaskPower said 16 of those neighbourhoods had their power restored, but were unable to provide a restoration time for Regina Harbour Landing and Albert Park south.

In another update at 5:10 p.m., SaskPower said all power has been restored to the neighbourhoods affected in Regina.

In an email to CTV News around 4 p.m., SaskPower said crews are currently patrolling the transmission line where the outage originated.
