Sunday lunch was delayed at homes in the Cowley area of Oxford when a fault in an electricity cable cut off power to hundreds of properties for nearly two hours.
The Templars Square shopping centre was plunged into darkness on April 4.
Power to nearly 800 customers went off just after midday and was restored by 2pm. Southern Electric is investigating the cause.
About 50 homes in Mattock Way on the Peachcroft estate in north Abingdon also lost their electricity for three hours when a fault developed in an underground cable.
