According to TEP, repairs were made to an underground cable. No information was immediately available about a possible cause for the damage.

At one point during the outage, the TEP outage map showed several outages in the area near Davis-Monthan Air Force Base from Swan Road to Camino Seco and south of 22nd Street to Irvington Road. The outage lasted a little over an hour and power was restored at about 1:45 p.m.

Meanwhile, traffic lights were malfunctioning during the outage at at least three intersections: Golf Links Road/Craycroft Road, Craycroft Road/29th Street, and Wilmot Road and 29th Street. It was unknown if the light malfunctions were directly related to the power outage.

After power was restored, only one intersection - Golf Links/Craycroft - was still experiencing light malfunctions.
