HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WHNT) — Huntsville Utilities says that power has been restored for customers in southwest Huntsville on Saturday.

According to Huntsville Utilities, the outage was affecting customers from Bob Wallace Avenue south to Redstone Arsenal and from Research Park Boulevard east to Memorial Parkway.

Service restored to many after outages briefly impacted over 3,100 HU customers

Officials say that a tree trimming company working in the area of Acklen and Bayless Drive caused a large tree limb to fall across power lines around 4:15 p.m. Huntsville Utilities Electric Operations crews responded, removed the tree, repaired the damage, and restored service.

Anyone in this area still experiencing a service issue should call (256)-535-4448.

Autonomous shipping startup Orca AI tops up with $23M led by OCV Partners and MizMaa Ventures
The so-called ‘autonomous navigation’ market -- where ships steer themselves guided by AI, resulting in fuel and time savings -- is projected to grow from $4.46 billion in 2023 to $5.33B in 2024 alone. Orca AI is a London-based startup that claims to have powered the world’s first autonomous commercial ship voyage in congested waters. Founded by Israeli naval technology experts, Yarden Gross and Dor Raviv, Orca AI’s platform processes multiple sources of visual information during navigation at sea, keeping the ship on course and freeing up the crew to monitor other aspects of the voyage, such as -- in increasingly unstable geopolitical times -- drone attacks and piracy.

Meet the Finnish biotech startup bringing a long lost mycoprotein to your plate
The best known mycoprotein is probably Quorn, a meat substitute that's fast approaching its 40th birthday. The focus back then wasn't on producing an alternative protein for human consumption, as the startup intends -- although the original Pekilo product was sold for animal feed. Instead, per Enifer CEO and co-founder Simo Ellilä, the paper industry's engineers were trying to come up with a solution to pollution caused by mills dumping production waste ("sidestreams") into local waterways.
