A power outage affected large parts of Gothenburg on Friday evening.
What I know is that it was just over 50,000 without power, how many it is after that I have not had time to get to me, said Claes Niklasson, officer on duty at Gothenburg Energy, to TT.
The problem occurred at around 21.30. Shortly after 22 o'clock, Göteborgs-Posten wrote that the power was back.
Several tram lines were also affected, as well as several train departures. "Expect cancelled stretches and longer travel times. The reason is a power fault", wrote Västtrafik on its website.
During the evening, an alarm was raised about a fire in a transformer station in Kortedala in northeastern Gothenburg. The police tell Aftonbladet that the fire may have caused the power outage.
Yes, one believes that it is what has shut down parts of Gothenburg, says the police's press spokesperson Jens Andersson to the newspaper.
It is still unknown what caused the fire.
