It is reported that a bird hit a power line and this caused a short circuit.
This failure led to an extensive outage.
It also impacted the neibouring villages of Villard-Notre-Dame, Le Freney-d’Oisans, Villard-Reymond and part of Bourg-d’Oisans.
Power was restored gradually through the day and the situation is now back to normal.
An investigation is underway.
