More than 1000 Aberdeen homes hit by power cut

More than 1,000 homes in Aberdeen have been hit by a power cut this afternoon.

In total, 1,070 properties across 77 postcode areas in the Mastrick and Northfield area were left without power.

Affected postcodes are all in the AB15 and AB16 areas.

The issue was reported to SSE at 11.43am, with an engineer on site at 12pm.

The utility provider hopes to have power restored by 2pm, and have apologised for the loss of supply.

A spokeswoman for SSE added: “The power cut was caused by something coming in contact with the overhead wires.”
