Sheffield power cut: 750 homes without electricity this morning following 'unexpected problem' in cables

Northern Powergrid is reporting that hundreds of households in the Nether Edge and Brincliffe area, as well as some properties in Endcliffe and off Ecclesall Road, are in the dark today (April 6) following a power cut at approximately 6am.
