About 45,000 residences and businesses lost power briefly this afternoon in the Lowell area.
The outage happened at about 1:30 p.m. All the customers had their power restored by 3 p.m., said Debbie Drew, a spokeswoman for National Grid.
Drew said a transmission line that serves the area had broken down. Parts of Lowell, Pelham, N.H., Tewksbury, Chelmsford, Dracut, Tyngsborough, and Concord were affected.
“This was a relatively short outage and we were able to bring most of those customers back very quickly,” she said. She said officials were looking into the cause of the power failure.
