New Mexico's largest electric provider says it has restored power to thousands of customers following multiple outages throughout central New Mexico.
Public Service Co. of New Mexico had reported outages from Santa Fe to Albuquerque and south toward Belen on Monday afternoon. Residential and business customers were affected.
The utility company said on its social media pages that it was having transmission problems and that the cause was still under investigation.
PNM customers have experienced a number of outages in recent weeks.
More than 3,000 customers in the Albuquerque area had their power go out Monday evening. In early August, lightning was to blame for a major outage in parts of central New Mexico.
