The closure is due to a fault in an electrical cable.

Nearly 150 homes have been affected by power cuts today after a fallen tree destroyed a powerline.

SSE were made aware of the incident at 8.56am and said homes in the AB45 and AB55 areas, covering Banff and Keith, had no electricity.

Engineers were able to reconnect customers to a different supply line.

Currently 56 homes remain without power but a full restoration is expected by 12.30pm.

A statement from the company said: “We were made aware of the power cuts around 8.56am after a fallen tree had destroyed a powerline.

“A total of 145 customers were affected with just 56 remaining powerless.

“We expect a full restoration by 12.30pm today.”

SSE can be contacted by calling 105 or through social media channels.
