According to SSEN, the outage was ‘unplanned’ and was caused by a fault on its underground network.

It said: "This unplanned fault is affecting a large area, and it's likely several streets in your area are affected by the same power cut.

"Our engineers are in your local area and working hard to get your power restored as soon as possible."

The power is estimated to be restored at 5pm.
