Power outages affected about 300 customers on Salem's east side and in Marion County, according to Portland General Electric.
A tree knocked down by wind took out power for some 330 east Salem-area homes Thursday, Portland General Electric has determined.
The tree hit power lines on 63rd Avenue NE, said spokeswoman Melanie Erdmann.
Portland General Electric had power restored to about 252 homes by about 4:15 p.m., Erdmann said. By about 9:20 p.m., an additional 85 homes were back up and running.
Erdmann said Portland General Electric appreciates customers' patience.
More than 80 people are still affected by power outages on the east side of Salem as of Saturday evening.
Portland General Electric is investigating the cause of multiple power outages on the east side of Salem and Marion County.
The combined outages are affecting more than 400 customers, according to the Portland General Electric outage map.
Melanie Erdmann, a company spokesperson, said they do not have any information on what caused the outages, but the stormy weather and downed power lines are likely contributors.
"I know it's Thanksgiving and the worst time for the power to be out," she said. "We are trying to get people's power back on as soon as possible."
Portland General Electric estimates power will be restored around 10 p.m. Thursday.
