In an update about the outage, a spokesperson confirmed that “a fault on our network” was the cause of the power cut.
Details of the outage state that it began at 7.48am this morning, with a repair estimated to be finished around 2.30pm today.
“We’re aware of a fault on our local network affecting several homes,” the spokesper
This means that you and some of your neighbours will be affected by the power cut, but not all – this is why you may notice some of your neighbours have power when you do not.
“It’s not uncommon to see one in three homes affected.
“We have engineers on the way and they are due to arrive in your local area at 8.45am.
“Once they arrive, they will get straight to work on investigating the fault and attempt to restore your power.”
