Richard Gough, director of distribution system operations at SSEN, said engineers “have continued to make strong progress restoring power to customers impacted” and that “all available resources have been deployed to support with restoration efforts”. The power firm warned some homes could be without electricity until Wednesday, but said the vast majority of its customers should be back on the network by Tuesday evening.
