Thousands left without power in Greensboro after substation issue

More than 6,500 people were left without power in Greensboro.

GREENSBORO, N.C. — Duke Energy reports more than 1,300 people are now without power in Greensboro.

It's a result from an outage earlier Sunday night that originally left more than 6,500 without power. 

Duke Energy said it expects to fully restore power to the area by 1:15 a.m. 

The Greensboro Police Department said various intersections have inoperative signals lights at, but not limited to the areas of:

  • E.Market Street/N. Dudley Street 
  • Summit Avenue/E. Bessemer Avenue
  • Lawndale Drive/Lake Jeanette Road
  • Battleground Avenue/Westridge Road

Motorists are asked to treat affected intersections as a four-way stop and find alternate routes. 

Duke Energy reported an outage at one of the substations in Greensboro that resulted in the outages. 

“Our crews were currently investigating the outage. I don't have any evidence to suggest other than an equipment outage at this point. We just had one in Charlotte as well.“
