ENGINEERS were working into the night to restore power to 102 homes in the Darlington area.
An underground cable fault led to the power shutting off in areas including Cockerton, High Coniscliffe and Merrybent shortly after 6pm.
A spokeswoman for electricity distributors NEDL said that engineers were on site and were confident of restoring power via generators, prior to locating the cause of the incident.
