Many homes and businesses in Ilkley are without power Monday afternoon [15 September] following a power cut first reported around 11am.
A number of properties had their power restored just after 12 midday, but at 4pm Northern Powergrid's 'power cut map' still shows 312 properties without a supply.
The company says it expects the power to be back on for most customers by 19:45 - 20:45.
Reports on social media suggest it was a fire at a sub station that cause the outage.
