Power cut hits 3,000 homes in Pilton and Granton areas of Edinburgh

A Scottish Power Energy Networks spokesperson said customers in the Granton and Pilton areas were temporarily disrupted by the outage.

The spokesperson said engineers have been working since Saturday to repair a damaged cable joint in the area and that customers were not impacted by this because they were able to switch to another power supply.

The spokesperson said: “Unfortunately, there was a further fault today which caused a temporary loss of power for around 3,000 customers. We took action to restore the power as quickly as possible and the longest anyone was affected was 25 minutes. We’re sorry for any inconvenience caused by this brief outage and pleased that repair works on the initial fault will be completed today.”

It is understood the power provider became aware of the problem just after 2pm and that the fault was fixed later in the afternoon, with power restored at around 4:15pm.
