Power has been fully restored to Manhattan after a major outage affected an estimated 72,000 customers in midtown and the Upper West Side.

Power was restored to the heart of New York City after a major outage impacted an estimated 72,000 customers, mostly in Manhattan's midtown and Upper West Side.

Con Edison said it completed power restoration to all customers on the West Side of Manhattan shortly before midnight and the last of six electrical networks was back in service. The company's CEO John McAvoy told reporters late Saturday that power in five of six neighborhoods affected by the outage was already back and remaining customers should have their power restored by midnight. As he spoke in midtown, a flash of lights came on, and people in the street cheered.McAvoy said the outage started about 6:47 p.m. with an"event" that will be the subject of investigation.
