Storm Eunice: Hundreds Of Isle Of Wight Home Remain Without Power

Hundreds of Isle of Wight properties are still without power this evening (Friday), as the effects of Storm Eunice are felt.

Homes and businesses in the Newport, Rookley, Godshill and Yarmouth areas are among those worst affected.

Residents in Northwood have been without power since around 10.30am this morning. 

Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) said its engineers are working to fix the issues, but due to the volume of call-outs, it "cannot guarantee" supplies will be restored soon.

The firm says, as of 4pm, its staff have already restored power to around 55,000 customers across its network. In total, it anticipates more than 120,000 customers are without power.

As of 5.15pm, there were 383 postcodes with a power outage.

SSEN customers can track outages in their area, and the progress of repairs, here.
