The company did confirm on its website the outage was due to the weather.
UPDATE @ 12:56 p.m.
Duke Energy spokeswoman Sally Thelen said the outage in Fairfield was caused by one of the failure of a feeder line near the Dixie Highway and Woodridge Boulevard substation.
Crews are on scene and power is expected to be restored within a half hour, she said.
As of now, there’s no reason why the line failed, but Thelen said, “We did have storms move through and could be affecting it.”
There are still 2,172 energy customers still without power, according to the company.
