Overview
- More than 2,100 properties lost electricity across RAF Lakenheath, Stonham Aspal, Heveningham, Halesworth and Glemsford during Thursday’s blustery conditions.
- Power has been largely restored in the Lakenheath area with about 45 homes still off, while roughly 240 customers remain without supply in Heveningham.
- Network operators attribute the outages to faults on high-voltage overhead lines linked to the stormy weather.
- Engineers in Halesworth shut off power after an overhead cable came down, and the public was advised to stay at least 10 metres from the line.
- An earlier fault first reported at 10:38am affected parts of north Essex, where initial restoration was estimated for early afternoon under incident reference INCD-590477-Z.
