Power has now been restored to previously affected areas.

Earlier on Thursday morning, thousands of homes and businesses were impacted by three unplanned electrical outages in Airdrie. The largest of the outages was reported in the Highland Park area, affecting over 2,000 customers.

Other quadrants of the city were also affected, with a power outage being reported near Willowbrook and the East Lake industrial area; 

Fortis Alberta originally estimated the time for crews to restore power would be around 1 p.m., though power was restored earlier.
