UTILITIES engineers have restored the power to more than 2,000 homes and businesses which were affected by power cuts this morning.
Northern Power said 2,072 properties in Newcastle and Gateshead experienced an unexpected loss of electricity.
A spokesperson said power should now be restored to all those affected.
Hi all customers in NE11 & NE16. Good news, your power should now be back on. Why not try a light switch to check? Thanks for your patience during the power cut, if you have any other #power related questions ask away, we are happy to help #TeamPowergrid
