SSE, the district network operator, has reported that the power cuts were caused by a primary power cable failure on the local network close to the university (Charminster area).
The fault has been isolated and no further disruption is anticipated relating to this fault.聽 However, in the event of any additional power loss, it is likely that restoration of power would occur quite quickly.聽
If the outage is not resolved within 30 minutes, guidance on actions to be taken will be communicated through the channels below or directly by Estates staff.
