Hundreds of homes in an east Suffolk town are without electricity after a power cut was reported.
UK Power Networks has said an outage has been confirmed in Saxmundham and the surrounding villages.
A total of 682 homes have been affected, UK Power Networks said on its online tracker.
Power is not expected to be restored until between 5.30pm and 6.30pm.
UK Power Networks said: "An underground electricity cable has faulted on our high voltage network, causing an area wide power cut."
Homes in Saxmundham have been hit with power cuts over recent weeks and months, prompting the supplier to carry out works in the town centre.
