Some homes on Coigach and on the Black Isle without power after planned outage, Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) engineers have said
SOME homes on the Coigach peninsula and the Black Isle were without power this morning (Thursday) after engineers switched off the electricity for “essential work”.
Seven postcodes in Coigach lost power at around 10am, while three postcodes in the Duncanston and Knockbain area of the Black Isle had their supplies cut around 9am. Power in both communities is expected to be restored by about 1pm.
“We're sorry for the loss of supply,” said a spokesman for Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN), who described it as a “planned” outage.
“We have turned off your electricity supply to allow us to safely carry out essential work to our electrical equipment.
“By doing this, it'll help us to improve the reliability of our service to you for the future.”
“You will have received a letter from us confirming your power will be interrupted with specific information relating to your property. If you did not receive this letter, you can assume your power will not be interrupted”
People without power in the Coigach area should call 105 or send SSEN a message on Facebook or Twitter (@ssencommunity) with reference '189556'.
Anyone without power in Duncanston and Knockbain should call 105 or send SSEN a message on Facebook or Twitter (@ssencommunity) with reference '189419'.

The affected postcodes on the Black Isle are: IV7 8JB, IV8 8NS and IV8 8PG.
