Updated 9:35am:

A large swath of the South Shore was dark this morning because of a fire at an NV Energy substation in Round Hill.

That station feeds Liberty Utilities, which is why people in California were affected as well.

The power went off just after 8am on Aug. 28.

At the height, 15,000 Liberty Utilities customers affected; this includes the Markleeville area and the South Shore of Lake Tahoe. All power to those people were restored at about 9:30am.

NV Energy is reporting 8,795 customers in Douglas County without power.
