Substation issue causes major power outage

About 12,000 Pennyrile  Electric members, mostly in Trigg County, were without power for over an hour Tuesday morning.

Brent Gilkey of Pennyrile says it was due to switchers in a substation in Trigg County.

Power was restored to all members a few minutes after 10 a.m.

Portions of Christian and Caldwell County were without power due to the issue, in addition to all of Trigg County.
