Power Outage Affects 1,000+ Homes in Solihull and Surrounding Areas
A sudden power outage has left over 1,000 homes in the dark across Solihull and nearby regions. The affected areas include residents in B47, B90, B94, and B98 postcodes.
National Grid is treating this as a high-voltage incident, indicating a broader impact. Engineers are working to resolve the issue, with an estimated restoration time of 8 p.m.
Despite the initial prediction, the number of homes without power has been steadily decreasing. As of the latest update, only 211 homes are still affected, while 2,095 have had their power restored.
The power cut was caused by a fault in the high-voltage power lines above ground. While engineers work to fix the issue, power may fluctuate.
Stay tuned for further updates on this developing situation.
