Electricity NW provide update on restoring power to thousands of Storm Boelo hit homes across Lancashire
It is expected to take until tomorrow evening for full power to be restored.
Storm Boelo arrived on Saturday with an amber weather warning and caused numerous travel disruptions, cancellations and power cuts.
Electricity North West teams have been working non stop to help homes that have been hit with power cuts across Lancashire including Preston and South Ribble.
A spokesperson said: “Our teams have been working hard to restore power as quickly and safely as possible.
“We’ve now restored 80,000 properties across the region after further damage overnight, with 4,500 properties to go, mostly in Cumbria.
“Conditions have improved and our overhead line teams are able to climb today so we are expecting to make good progress.”
They added: “We’ll restore power to properties in stages throughout the day however our expected time for full restoration of all properties remains 6pm Tuesday.
“We’ve made more than 7,000 proactive calls to customers and we encourage anyone who needs extra help and support to get in touch with us.”
Reset your trip switches
They also confirmed that while they are continuing to work on the loss of electricity in your area, that power has now been restored for Goosnargh residents.
They said: “Thank you for your patience, we understand to be without power for a long period of time is frustrating and inconvenient.
“One last thing you may need to do is reset your trip switches and some appliances; hopefully this won't be too much trouble. If you still have no electricity please contact us on freephone 105.”
If you see damage to the network, stay well clear and report it to us immediately on 105. If there is a danger to life call 999.
