Hundreds of Portsmouth homes affected by power cut
HUNDREDS of homes have been hit by a power cut in Portsmouth.
Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) said properties in the PO2 area of Portsmouth, including Hilsea, North End and Stamshaw, have been affected by a power cut.
Two separate power outages have taken place, one at 10.47am and another at 11.17am.
In a statement on its website, the company said: ‘We’re sorry for the loss of supply – we currently have a fault affecting the area.
‘Our engineers are on site working hard to get the power back on as quickly as they can.’
SSEN is hoping to have power restored in the area by 2pm.
Anyone looking for more information on the power cut can call SSEN by dialling 105, quoting the reference numbers GA7073 and GA7117.
A further power outage has been reported in Clanfield, though this is due to a planned outage for maintenance work.
