They said: ‘All supplies have now been restored.

‘If you are still without power, please send us a DM with your full address and postcode so we can investigate further.’

It comes just days after a power cut hit nearby homes in Southsea over the weekend.

If you are still experiencing issues send SSEN a direct message via their Twitter account or call 105 or visit ssen.co.uk/Home.
