The power outages that affected parts of Park Slope, Sunset Park, Bay Ridge and Borough Park on Sunday have been mostly cleared up, at least, according to Con Ed’s outage map. (Each green triangle is 1-50 people without power). The trouble was caused by malfunctions with 4 of the 12 big feeder cables. About 2,000 homes and businesses were without power. Con Ed also reduced voltage to effected areas by 8 percent. Tens of thousands of customers were asked to cut back power use.
