# Power restored after 4-hour outage plunges 760 Hong Kong flats into darkness

> Electricity was restored after a four-hour outage affecting 760 flats in Ha Kwai House, Kwai Chung, due to a suspected water leak. The outage occurred on Sunday night, with power restored by 1:30 am Monday. CLP Power confirmed normal operation of facilities after emergency repairs. Residents faced darkness, with some trapped in lifts and an elderly woman needing assistance for her breathing machine, but no hospitalisation was required.

Electricity has been restored after a four-hour outage at a residential high-rise in a Kwai Chung housing estate, caused by a suspected water leak that triggered a power trip ahead of Lunar New Year’s Eve. The city’s biggest electricity company, CLP Power, said that at around 9.13pm on Sunday, a suspected equipment fault at Ha Kwai House in the Kwai Chung Estate disrupted supply to about 760 households. The power trip lasted four hours and electricity was restored at 1.30am on Monday. CLP staff were dispatched to check and confirmed that the power facilities were operating normally. The building’s electricians then carried out emergency repairs. Apart from the stairwells and parts of the lobby, the block was left in pitch darkness, prompting many residents to wait outside. At 9.41pm, an elderly woman called for help, saying her breathing machine was running low on power. Firefighters sent an ambulance to assist, but she did not require hospitalisation. Separately, some residents were trapped in lifts during the blackout and were rescued without injury by firefighters, police said.
