A spokesperson for SP Energy Networks said: “We’re investing in and upgrading the network to reinforce the local supply, ensuring its continued resilience and security.

"It’s part of essential work we’re undertaking to bring more electricity on to the local grid, allowing customers to switch to low-carbon technologies like EV chargers and solar panels.

“We are working swiftly to minimise disruption and work should be complete by the end of the month.

"We thank local people for their patience whilst we make these important upgrades.”
