Hundreds of homes are still without power after a major power outage in the west on Wednesday afternoon.
Electricity company Powercor said a technical issue at their Sunshine station caused the problems with 14,000 homes around Derimut, Deer Park and West Sunshine affected.
Most of those have now been re-connected with about 1,400 homes still without power.
The problem has also caused headaches on the roads with traffic lights out throughout most of the area.
VicRoads is urging drivers to take extra care particularly when approaching intersections.
