National Grid engineers are working to restore electricity at properties affected by a power cut in North Derbyshire.
111 properties in the Staveley area are affected by the power cut, which was reported to National Grid at 1.54pm today, Wednesday, September 30.
The power cut has been caused by a ‘fault on the low voltage power cables’ in the area, National Grid have reported.

An estimated time when electricity should be switched back in all properties is 5pm today.
National Grid have issued the following online statement: “We were alerted at 1:54pm this afternoon and our engineers are working to get your electricity back on as quickly as possible. We're sorry for the disruption.
