The latest update from UK Power Networks posted at 6:30pm says: “Update at 18:30 – Our engineers are on their way. At this point we think the issue is a fault on the high voltage electrical network affecting several thousand properties. Specialist engineers from our control room are also working to divert power remotely, so it’s possible for your power to come back on at any point, but sometimes we can’t restore everyone this way. That’s why we’re also sending staff to the area to check our equipment.
“Every fault is different, so our time frames have to be estimated but currently we hope to have power back on between 20:30 and 21:30 We must stress that it may become necessary for this to change, depending on what our engineers find. We’ll keep you updated with our progress.”
