Around 400 homes are without power in Aberdeenshire.
The problem was reported to Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) just before 7pm.
A SSEN spokesman said 382 homes in the AB51 and AB52 postcodes areas were affected. These include Chapel of Garioch, Pitcaple and Durno near Inverurie.
Engineers are currently on site in Inverurie. He said the problem was caused by an overhead fault and power is expected to be restored by 10pm.
He added: “We apologies to our customers for any inconvenience this may have caused.”
