A Northern Powergrid spokeswoman confirmed that at 3:16 pm yesterday (19 September) a power cut affected around 1,500 customers in the Harrogate area.
Northern Powergrid spokeswoman said:
Our engineers were able to restore power to some 1,100 customers within 30 minutes by switching them to an alternative part of our network. At 4:50 pm 540 customers were interrupted again.
Power was restored to all customers by 5:30 pm the same day.
The power cut was caused by a fault on the underground power network.
We’d like to thank our customers for their patience whilst we worked to get the lights back on.
