More than 3,800 homes were left without electricity Thursday morning in the fifteenth arrondissement of Paris, after the distributor Enedis cut off the power due to a gas leak.
"We were contacted this [Thursday] morning by the firefighters to intervene because they suspected a gas leak," the Enedis press service told AFP.

To "secure the electricity part of the district", the distributor's technicians cut off the power to ten distribution stations, "which is equivalent to 3,800 low voltage customers and one high voltage customer", the Intuit Lab design school.
Dozens of streets are still without electricity today, after the suspicion of a leak was confirmed "at the end of the morning".
Enedis indicated that it had delivered generators to the site which have the capacity to supply "about 2,000 homes out of the 3,800", specifying that "others are being sent".
