More than 40 homes are currently without power, as engineers struggle to come to the rescue due to severe weather.
The power cut was first reported to Electricity North West at about 6.25pm yesterday (December 26), with properties in the Ivegill area of Carlisle left in darkness.
It is believed the outage was caused by "an unexpected incident on [a] high voltage cable."
With yellow weather warnings for wind and rain in place overnight, engineers have been unable to attend the scene to restore power, leaving 44 customers without electricity for more than 12 hours.
A team has been sent this morning (December 27) to fix the issue, and hope to resolve the outage by about 11am.
Postcodes affected include CA5 7DP; CA4 0PA; CA4 0PB; CA4 0PD; CA4 0PE; CA4 0NX; CA4 0NR; CA5 7DN; CA4 0PN; CA4 0PL; CA4 0PW; CA4 0PP; CA4 0PR; CA4 0PT; CA4 0PJ; CA4 0QE; CA4 0QF; CA4 0NN; CA4 0NL; CA5 7AN; CA5 7AW; CA4 0PG; CA4 0PH.
