About 150 Grand Forks customers of Xcel Energy lost power Thursday night, according to spokeswoman Bonnie Lund.
About 10:30 p.m., when the Herald reached her, the company was mobilizing repair crews, she said, so she couldn't yet identify a cause or pinpoint the area affected.
The downtown district was one area affected.
South-end outage
Xcel Energy crews spent Thursday afternoon restoring power to 27 customers along 32nd Avenue South in Grand Forks. Those customers included Boston's and Texas Roadhouse restaurants.

Xcel spokeswoman Bonnie Lund said a problem with a transformer caused the outage at about 12:20 p.m. and by 4 p.m., power had been restored to all but one customer who lived near the transformer.
