A power cut is affecting homes in Newport this evening (Tuesday) – just as families sit down for dinner.
Supply has been lost in the Halberry Lane estate area of Newport – the PO30 2 region. The network fault hit at 17:38.
Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) are aware of the issue and have sent engineers out with an aim of restoring power as soon as possible.
It is hoped that the electricity will be back on by 21:00.
UPDATE TUESDAY @ 23:00 – Power has now been restored to all affected homes, according to SSEN.
For further information about this power cut call the dedicated helpline by dialling 105.
Alternatively, you can send SSEN a message on Facebook or Twitter (@ssencommunity).
App: Did you know SSEN also have a mobile phone app where you can report, locate, track and subscribe to faults in your area?
More load shedding but it’s been happening for a long time perhaps people will start to believe me
There seems to be a lot of power cuts on the Island recently, is it my imagination or are the power company’s failing to stand up to their responsibilities.
May be thay are cutting corners in order to save money for their share holder’s.
Likely over loaded by all those growing drugs, using lights, etc. Lot of it about now.
i suspect with the over zealous lockdown and nanny state, handbag swinging jobsworths, barking social distancing and stay indoors orders, companies like SSEN haven’t had the staff available for preventative maintenance and as such – things have broken that would have been replaced under usual circumstances.
Clare and anon talk crap the company has done many upgrades over lockdown FACT
