More than 1,900 homes in Cornwall are without power this afternoon after strong winds brought down power lines and interrupted supplies thanks to Storm Antoni battering the Duchy.
National Grid said it was working to repair feeds as quickly as possible, although some homes are unlikely to see a return of their electricity until the evening.
In total, 1,929 properties are currently without power, according to incidents reported to National Grid.
One of the worst affected areas is Trewithian, Roseland Peninsula, where 738 homes have power cuts.
This has been described as a “high voltage” incident, meaning it is affecting the wider area.
Postcodes affected are: TR2 5AF, TR2 5DS, TR2 5DU, TR2 5DX, TR2 5DY, TR2 5DZ, TR2 5EA, TR2 5EB, TR2 5ED, TR2 5EE, TR2 5EF, TR2 5EG, TR2 5EH, TR2 5EN, TR2 5EQ, TR2 5ET, TR2 5EU, TR2 5EW, TR2 5EX, TR2 5EY, TR2 5EZ, TR2 5GA, TR2 5HA, TR2 5HD, TR2 5HE, TR2 5HF, TR2 5HG, TR2 5HH, TR2 5HJ, TR2 5HL, TR2 5HN, TR2 5HP, TR2 5HQ, TR2 5HR, TR2 5HS, TR2 5HT, TR2 5HW, TR2 5QL, TR2 5UL, TR2 5UP, TR2 5UU.

Nearby St Mawes has 23 properties off, at postcodes TR2 5BH, TR2 5BJ, TR2 5BL, TR2 5BN, TR2 5BP, TR2 5DB.
Reported at 12.35pm, engineers had hoped to connect properties by 3.30pm but the issue still remains live on National Grid’s map of power cuts.
