Over 1,000 homes and businesses in the far north-east are were without power this morning due to a pole fire.
TasNetworks says around 1,400 customers were affected by the blaze on Carey Street in Scottsdale, which occurred around 5am on Saturday.
At 7am, crews had been able to restore power to over 1,000 customers through switching.
A spokesperson was hopeful the remaining 300 impacted customers will be reconnected by this afternoon, as the damaged pole will likely take most of the day to replace.
A separate outage at Mt Nelson in Hobart also knocked out power to around 100 properties due to a burned-out loop.
The suburb was part of a broader outage overnight that affected much of Mt Nelson and Sandy Bay after a tree clipped high-voltage lines.
That was resolved by 7am, TasNetworks said.
