noun
restoration of power; power restoration
Used when electricity supply resumes after a blackout or power outage. Common in news reports and official announcements.
台風の影響で停電していたが、先ほど復電した。
The power was out due to the typhoon, but it was restored just now.
復電の見込みは明日の朝になるという。
They say power restoration is expected by tomorrow morning.
Compound of 復 (restore) and 電 (electricity), literally 'restore electricity'. The irregular form 複電 is likely a common misspelling due to the same reading ふく.
