London and large parts of England and Wales were hit by massive power cut on Friday after a suspected national grid failure, UK power companies said Friday.
“We’re aware of a power cut affecting a large area of London and South East. We believe this is due to a failure to National Grid’s network, which is affecting our customers,” UK Power Networks tweeted, later replying to customers confirming that “the issue was caused by a fault on the National Transmission Network,” and that they expect power to be restored.

Western Power Distribution, which distributes power to the Midlands, the South West region and Wales said that they were experiencing a “major incident on the national electricity infrastructure,” but added that 90% of their customers have since had their power restored.
