Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) has done a survey of the high voltage electricity network feeding your parish and have identified refurbishment works we need to carry out to improve the electricity network and reduce the risk of power cuts in the future. These works represent an investment of £ 192,103.00 in the local infrastructure.
 
In order for our teams to safely complete these works it may be necessary to organise some Planned Power Cuts.  If this is the case, we will notify affected customers and businesses in advance. Since the start of the pandemic, we know our customers have relied on us more than ever to ensure a safe and secure supply of electricity to our homes and we have made changes to how we work, including social distancing, additional hygiene measures and carrying out customer visits only when critical or safe to do so. All work we carry out will be reviewed and planned in line with the Government guidance and to ensure residents are without power for the shortest time necessary, in order to reduce any potential inconvenience this may cause. 
The work will involve Tree Cutting and Network Improvements, as appropriate, which will help us to improve the reliability of the electricity supply to you for the future. The safety of our customers and employees is at the heart of all we do, and we would like to apologise in advance for any inconvenience this may cause you.
