Xcel Energy, which serves DIA, told FOX31 that crews were in the process of energizing a new transformer at one of the two substations when a piece of equipment shut off, causing the power outage in part of the airport.

Though power was restored, many people reported continued crowding near trains and in the concourses, and flight delays continued to rise around noon.

A power outage impacted train service to the gates as well as flights at Denver International Airport for a couple of hours on Wednesday morning. According to airport officials, the airport experienced a power incident around 9:20 a.m., which then led to a ground stop.

Denver International Airport officials said power was restored at 11:04 a.m., nearly two hours after the initial outage. They said that operations would return to normal and asked for patience.
