Power was restored in Edinburg after an outage affected over 17,000 AEP Texas customers on Wednesday.

AEP Texas spokesperson Omar Lopez said the outage was due to a piece of plastic wrapping itself around transmission equipment. The outage started on Wednesday morning and power was restored by Wednesday at 5 p.m.

At one point, power was rerouted to bring back power to 12,000 customers. 

Some Edinburg businesses had to close due to the outage, and several street intersections were treated as a four-way stop until power resumed.
