NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. — More than 5,000 people went without power for hours in Niagara County on Wednesday night.
A circuit breaker tripped in the switch yard of the Niagara Power Project, causing a temporary outage until the power could be rerouted to the affected area, according to a New York Power Authority spokesman.
Earlier, a National Grid spokesman said a NYPA equipment issue had caused the outage.
