ALL people who lost power during Wednesday night's storms are now back on, according to Northern Powergrid.
A Northern Powergrid spokeswoman said: “We’ve had more than 500 of our engineers working to carry out repairs to our network to restore electricity supplies for all of the 57,500 customers across North Yorkshire, County Durham, Tyne and Wear and Northumberland who had a power cut as a result of the storms.
“The vast majority of our customers were successfully restored last night and earlier today and at 9.40pm tonight we got the last 130 customers affected back on supply.
“We’re very sorry for the inconvenience cause for our customers and thank them for their patience while our engineering and customer support teams worked to help our customers and repair our network.”
