Power was restored to the YO31 postcode area by 12.30pm.
Hi all customers in #YO31. Good news, your power should now be back on. Why not try a light switch to check? Thanks for your patience during the power cut, if you have any other #power related questions ask away and we are happy to help #TeamPowergrid
