A THIRD power outage has struck the Isle of Wight with several businesses affected, including a KFC outlet and a Premier Inn.
A fault with the underground power network is to blame for a power cut in Lake — about half a mile from where Scottish and Southern Electricity (SSE) is currently dealing with an outage.
It is not known if the two power cuts are connected.
Seven post code areas in the Lake area have been affected — PO36 9PQ, PO36 9PT, PO36 9QJ, PO36 9QL, PO36 9QN, PO36 9QP and PO36 9QR.
Within the affected area, some businesses in Lake have been affected, including KFC, Merrie Gardens Farm and the Premier Inn and possibly Aldi supermarket.
