ALMOST 1500 homes were subject to disrupted power on Tuesday evening in Monmouthshire. 

A power cut was confirmed by National Grid on their social media at just before 8.15pm on Tuesday, September 24, leaving more than 25 postcodes without power. 

The areas affected were within the NP7 postcode of Abergavenny and surrounding areas, with National Grid announcing they hoped to have the power cut resolved by 10pm. 

According to the National Grid website, the power cut in Abergavenny on Tuesday was classed a as a HV or 'high voltage' incident. 

The National Grid categories incidents into LV or HV.

LV stands for low voltage and these incidents tend to be smaller and more localised.

HV stands for high voltage and these incidents tend to be larger, affecting the wider area. 

In LV incidents some of your neighbours may still have power, but in HV incidents it could mean your neighbours are off supply too.

The team at National Grid worked to restore power in Abergavenny, with all power supplies in the area restored within an hour of the power cut first being reported, by 9.15pm. 

This was confirmed by a social media post issued at 9.40pm on Tuesday, with National Grid apologising to any customers affected by the power cut.
