Power outage: Dark Christmas Eve for 1,800 Woerden households

A power outage left around 1,800 households in Woerden in the dark for several hours on Christmas  Eve. 

The power went out at around 10:40 p.m. and was restored by around 00:50 a.m.

According to network manager Stedin, a broken cable was behind the outage.

On social media, some Woerden residents seemed to think that the forced candlelight gave the night an even more Christmas-y feeling.
