This is the article when the same thing happened last year. I'm glad they addressed the problem after it happened last year.

As of Sunday evening electricity had been restored to most downtown buildings. Crews are in the process of restoring power to City County building. Everything should be back to normal Monday morning.
Crews say it will be completely restored Monday.
The outage in downtown Detroit lasted for almost two days. The City County Building, Cobo Hall, The People Mover, The Fountain at Campus Martius and a gas station where Detroit PD fuels up their cruisers, were all without electricity.
The Detroit Medical Center also experienced a brief outage, but a back-up system quickly kicked in.
As for the cause, a spokesman for the mayor says three "tie-lines" were damaged because of recent heat. Two of the three "tie lines" are still being repaired. One of them was supposed to be turned back on this afternoon, but it's not clear if that's happened.
DTE is not responsible for the site where the outage occured -- the city is in charge of the operation.
As for the People Mover, it is scheduled to open on time Monday.
