An east Christchurch suburb was hit by a power outage this morning.

Orion said about 770 customers were without power in the Shirley area. Field staff were called out about 8.30am to investigate the fault.

The company had power restored before 11am.

A Christchurch Transport Operations Centre spokesperson urged motorists to take care and apply the give-way rules at intersections during the power cut.
