Around 400 homes in Seaton and surrounding areas were plunged into darkness last night due to a power cut.
The outage was due to an overhead electricity network fault.
Power was restored by 11pm.
A spokesperson for Electricity North West said: "A power cut, caused by a fault on the overhead electricity network in Workington, caused the loss of power to 400 customers at 9:04pm last night.
"Our engineers attended site, carried out repair work and were able to restore full power to customers at 11pm."
