SSEN full statement on Bursledon power outage

A spokesperson for SSEN said: "We're aware of a fault on our local network affecting several homes.

"This means that you and some of your neighbours will be affected by the power cut, but not all - this is why you may notice some of your neighbours have power when you do not. It's not uncommon to see 1 in 3 homes affected.

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

"The cause of this power cut is a fault on our underground network. This is the most common type of fault we see, and our teams are very experienced in dealing with these issues.

"In most cases, our engineers are able to get your power back on by simply replacing a fuse at the local substation, however, if the fault is severe, this may take us longer to fix. If this does happen, we will let you know.

"If you need more information, please send us a message on Whatsapp or call us on 105 and quote reference 'RA2406'"
