A statement published online by Nothern Powergrid, it said: “Our regions have experienced heavy snow and ice overnight and this has started to impact our network. Our teams have been mobilised in readiness to restore supplies as safely and quickly as possible.”

“Due to some access restrictions and uncertainty of the damage caused, we will be providing generalised estimates of restorations that are subject to some uncertainty. 

“We will update these to more accurate estimated restoration times as soon as we have assessed the damage caused, and the work required to restore your supply. You can see the estimated time to restore your supply on our power cut map.”
