Power was largely restored to much of southern Brazil early Wednesday after a four-hour blackout that plunged the country's biggest cities into darkness, triggering a crime alert, according to officials and witnesses.
The outage originated in the Itaipu hydroelectric plant that straddles the border between Brazil and Paraguay and supplies much of the energy to the two nations, Energy Minister Edson Lobao told reporters. The exact cause was yet to be determined.
