The electricity network company Ellevio estimated that at least 8100 people living on Ekerö lacked electricity during the evening, ie a justifiable part of the inhabitants of the island.
According to the company's website, it was first expected that the problem would not be solved until half past ten in the evening.
- Someone unauthorized has climbed into an electric pole and received a power outage.
He was thus injured and the rescue service was on site.
This led to Vattenfall shutting down the power, says Isak Lundmark at Youcall, which is responsible for Ellevio's press service.
But the electricity came back faster than expected.
Just before nine o'clock in the evening.
- It must be switched, after you have received permission to turn on the power again.
The damage situation to the person who caused the power outage is unknown.
