Updated: Power Restored in Part of Sussex County After Transmission Issue

SUSSEX COUNTY, Del. - A major power outage was reported in part of Sussex County Thursday night.

Delaware Electric Cooperative says roughly 8,000 customers in and around Selbyville and Fenwick were without power.

In a tweet, the company said it was working to restore power and that it believes it was a transmission issue.

The outage was first reported around 8 p.m., based on the outage map. A note on that map indicted a possible tree on a transmission pole, but an official cause has not yet been determined.

Power was fully restored around 9:30 p.m.
