Hi all, Many thanks for your feedback from both Cedric and James Cowley. The power should be up and running in a few hours by way of generator and will temporarily 'dip' when it is switched back after the maintenance was completed.
James Cowley has also spoken to Mr Peteresen from the Department of domestic electrical who noted the same as Cedric.
