Farnley power cut: Hundreds of west Leeds homes left without electricity after major outage

Northern Powergrid is facing an “unexpected” problem with cables or equipment in the Farnley area, near Pudsey Road. More than 100 homes and businesses in LS13 are affected, and the company is reviewing how long it will take to get power back on.

In an update on its website, Northern Powergrid said: “The power cut affecting your property has been caused by an unexpected problem with the cables or equipment that serve your area. If you need to report an emergency, please call 105.

“We are facing a major power cut in this area. We are working towards restoring it as early as possible.”

It follows a large power cut in Chapel Allerton over the weekend, which left hundreds of homes without electricity for hours. Engineers are still working on the cables and equipment in the Methleys area.
