Another power cut is currently active in the Long Stratton area, affecting properties across Hempnall, Wacton and Tivetshall St Mary.
Only six homes and businesses are currently being affected by the outage, said to be caused by an overhead cable being knocked to the ground by strong winds.
At its height, the outage affected 1000 properties and engineers estimate that the issue will be resolved between 5pm and 6pm.

The power cut - currently affecting 71 properties - is believed to be the result of a fault with overhead cables often caused by high winds.
Earlier this morning, 388 homes and businesses were left without power and engineers estimate that the issue will be resolved between 5.30pm and 6.30pm.
