Thirty-seven homes remain without power after a major outage overnight in Walsall.
123 homes were impacted when the incident was first reported at around 10.35pm last night (August 30) near the Bescot Rail Depot. It is believed the incident was caused by a “blown fuse.”
National Grid engineers are currently working to restore power to the following postcodes that remain without power as of 12pm today (August 31): WS10 0SB, WS10 0SD, WS10 0SE, WS10 0SF, WS10 0SG, WS10 0SL, WS10 0TL
A spokesperson for National Grid said: “We know you're without power. We were alerted at 10:35pm Sun 30 Aug 26 and our engineers are working to get your electricity back on as quickly as possible. We're sorry for the disruption.
“We give you our best estimate for when your power will be back on, based on what we know at the time. Times might change if we face unexpected challenges getting to the fault. These times show when the last person in the area will have power back - most of you will be reconnected before this.
“We'll update this page regularly with our progress.”
