West Adderbury homes still without power
10/12/2024
National Grid teams have been working around the clock to reconnect power supplies
107 properties in West Adderbury are still without power today, following Storm Darragh at the weekend.
They’ve now been without electricity for over 48 hours. Supplies went at around 8am on Sunday.
The outage is due to an incident with the high-voltage, overhead network following the Storm.
A spokesperson for National Grid told Banbury FM: “We know that losing power is difficult and our teams are working through extremely tough conditions to restore power as fast as possible.
“We have now reconnected more than 1.8 million properties. Our teams are working around the clock to reconnect power supplies and support our customers, and we have thousands of personnel deployed in the field working on restoration.
“Where customers are waiting to be reconnected, it has either been too dangerous for our teams to carry out work, or there have been other obstacles, such as flooding, limiting our access to power lines.
“We have been deploying partners and our own resources to support customers without power. The Red Cross have been working with us since Saturday across our regions, we have been deploying generators and battery packs for PSR customers, and we are also working with local authorities on warm hubs and community spaces to provide further support.
“Customers are able to access support and further updates via our social media channels, website and by calling 105 at any time.”
Its currently estimated that supplies will be restored by 9pm on Wednesday.
