SSEN making 'good progress' restoring supply to homes still without power

ENERGY company SSEN said they are making 'good progress' as they look to restore power to homes still off supply after Storm Arwen last weekend.

Teams working throughout Friday restored power to 650 customers with power restored to over 130,000 customers in total since the start of the storm.

As of 9pm last night around 950 customers remain without power. The bulk of which are customers in Moray, Aberdeenshire, Perthshire and Angus.

Mark Rough, Director of Operations, said: "Our teams made really good progress throughout Friday, and we are expecting to make similar progress overnight. Currently we are estimating that on Saturday morning we will have around 500 customers without power, and we will reconnect them throughout the day.

"Once again I’d like thank our customers for their continued patience and apologise for the inconvenience that has been caused by loss of their power. For anyone still off supply, we would encourage them to call 105 and our teams will look to provide whatever support is required."
