We are currently dealing with a downer link between Cairn Mon Earn and Portlrthen whigh carrives a lot of the traffic for our Deeside and Edzell area networks.

We have temporarily migrated all connections to the secondary link via Banchory however the increased load on this will result in slower than normal speeds for almost all users.

We are working as hard as we can to restore this link however if it requires climbing the tower then this will not happen today on Safety grounds and will instead be carried out on Monday

We will continue to monitor the weather over the coming days to make sure we can react to any outages caused by adverse weather.

We have already seen a couple of power cuts today caused by the weather and expect more to follow.

5th generator of the day filled with 75l of diesel for customers in Deeside areas.

We are currently aware of a loss of service for customers around Inverurie and surrounding areas. An engineer is on route now to find out why the generator has cut out.

We also know that customers around Laurencekirk are down due to a power cut last night. We are trying to source a generator for this site but many of our usual sources are sold out.
