A lightning strike at the Wailoa transmission line caused the blackout around Viti Levu last night.
The Fiji Electricity Authority said the transmission line in Wailoa was affected by lightning which takes power to the Cunningham and Vuda lines before distributing power to the whole FEA network.
FEA spokesperson, Karunesh Rao said the FEA team worked tirelessly behind the scene to restore power supply.
Power supply around the Viti Levu area was restored before 9.30 last night.
