Power has been restored to the the Tesla Gigafactory near Berlin on Monday night, grid operator E.DIS said.
Repair work to a damaged pylon was completed at 8:45 p.m. local time (1945 UTC) — much faster than the power company initially expected.
“Since then, the power supply has been restored,” it said in a statement.
The news comes a week after the power supply was cut when far-left activists known as the Volcano Group sabotaged the car factory.
Environmental activists have been protesting against the expansion of the factory, which they say will impact a water protection zone in the forest of Grünheide.
At the time, Tesla chief Elon Musk called the saboteurs the “dumbest eco-terrorists in the world.”
The sabotage caused production to come to a halt. Tesla had expected the factory to remain down until the end of the week.
