There was a rather large but somewhat brief electric outage in DeLand on MLK Day.

Approximately 11,000 customers of Duke Energy were without electricity during the mid-morning of Jan. 20.

“Duke Energy Florida experienced an outage in the DeLand area which occurred at approximately 9:45 am,” wrote Ana Gibbs, a spokeswoman for the utility, in an email response to a query from The Beacon. “The last customer was restored at approximately 10:45 am.”

What caused the power loss is not known.

“The cause of the outage is still under investigation,” Gibbs added.
