Another Major Power Cut Hits Acton
Large parts of W3 lose electricity for second time within a month
There has been another loss of electricity supply across a significant part of Acton this Wednesday morning (17 October).
Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) say on their web site, “We apologise for the loss of supply. We currently have a fault affecting the areas listed. Our engineers are on site working to get the power back on as quickly as they can. If you need more information, please call us on 0800 072 7282 and quote reference 'EU7724'.”
They currently estimate that power will be fully restored by 9.30am.
There are 73 post codes known to be affected:
W3 6LS W3 6LY W3 6PT W3 8AA W3 8AB W3 8AE W3 8AG W3 8AH W3 8AJ W3 8AL W3 8AN W3 8AQ W3 8AR W3 8AS W3 8AT W3 8AW W3 8BD W3 8ED W3 8EJ W3 8ET W3 8HA W3 8HB W3 8JA W3 8JB W3 8JE W3 8JF W3 8JH W3 8JJ W3 8JL W3 8JP W3 8JS W3 8JZ W3 8NH W3 8NJ W3 8NL W3 8NN W3 8NS W3 8NU W3 8NX W3 8PP W3 8QA W3 8QD W3 8QF W3 8QG W3 8QH W3 8QL W3 8QW W3 8RS W3 8RT W3 8RU W3 8RX W3 8RY W3 8RZ W3 8SA W3 8SB W3 8SD W3 8SE W3 8SF W3 8SL W3 8TY W3 8TZ W3 8UN W3 8UR W3 8UT W3 8UX W3 9BX W3 9BY W3 9DD W3 9DF W3 9DH W3 9DR W5 1JX W5 5BE
There are also reports of intermittent power outages in the north of Chiswick.
The latest interruption of supply comes just three weeks after a similar incident on 27 September which affected 1,151 properties in Meon Road, Newton Avenue, Acton Lane, Leythe Road and surrounding areas in Acton.
At that time some residents claimed that power cuts in the area have become much more common in and this is due to under investment in local infrastructure and rising demand due to increased use of electronic devices. We put this to SSEN who said they would investigate the claims and come back to us after they spoke to their local teams but they have yet to do so.
