FRIENDSWOOD, Texas – About 35,000 residents in League City, Friendswood and Alvin found themselves in the dark Tuesday afternoon after a power outage.

The power went out in all three areas around noon.

Officials in Friendswood confirmed that the city offices were a part of the outage, which affected areas serviced by Texas New Mexico Power Company in northern Galveston County and parts of Brazoria County.

By 2 p.m., the power was starting to come back on.

Officials with ERCOT said the outage occurred during planned repairs.

They expected to be able to reroute the power so a minimal amount of customers would be affected, but while they were working an unexpected disruption occurred.
