Company officials, reported on Tuesday that a defect in one of the 69,000-volt transmission lines caused a loss of power to about 13,000 customers in Freeport Lucaya and East Grand Bahama.
Some areas of Freeport reportedly retained power, however the other two areas were completely in the dark.
Roger Johnson, director of community and customer relations for the company, said the interruption in power occurred around 11:06pm Monday.
He said that power was fully restored by 2:30am on Tuesday. The company apologised to its customers for the interruptions.
Many residents of Grand Bahama, particularly in the Freeport area, also experienced problems with telephone services on Tuesday.
Residents with phone numbers with the prefix 373 could make any outgoing calls or receive incoming calls as of midday.
The Tribune was unable to reach officials at the Bahamas Telecommunication Company (BTC) up to press time on Tuesday regarding the interruptions.
Up until 5.30pm, telephone services had still not been restored.
