*_SSEN Distribution statement – Stronsay power outages _*

  Last Tuesday a fault developed at our substation on Stronsay, 
affecting supplies to 222 properties. To restore supplies and minimise 
the impact to homes and businesses, temporary mobile generation has been 
brought in as an interim measure.  This is currently powering all homes 
and businesses on the islands with refuelling and resource plans in 
place to maintain supply. An additional mobile generator will also 
arrive on Stronsay tomorrow for contingency purposes.

  To further protect the stability of power supplies to homes and 
businesses, and prevent additional power cuts, we have asked embedded 
generators on Stronsay to temporarily limit their export at this time.

  Investigations with a view to conducting permanent repairs are ongoing 
and we will share further timescales as they are known, alongside 
continued dialogue with all affected generators.

  A spokesperson from SSEN Distribution said:

/“We would like to apologise to all our customers on Stronsay for the 
impact this fault has caused. Our engineers are doing all they can to 
identify, and repair, the fault as quickly as possible, while ensuring 
homes and business remain powered through mobile generation./

/ “We remain in dialogue with the generators affected and will provide 
an update on the restoration of permanent supplies as soon as 
investigations are fully complete.”/

  I hope this information is useful.

  Kind regards,

Georgina
