A substation failure caused a power outage in northeastern Macomb County this afternoon, the Macomb Daily News is reporting.

DTE spokesperson Lisa Bolla reported that two underground cables that supply power to a pair of substations failed, causing the outage. The result was 12,000 users without power.

Bolla said crews could not say why the lines failed.
