ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND homes and businesses were affected by today's lunchtime power cut.
Southern Electric has just said that power has been restored across the county.
It was caused by a safety trip knocking out its high voltage network because of an unknown problem.
An investigation will be launched to establish what caused this now that power has been restored in Oxfordshire.
Southern Electric spokesman Sam O’Connor said: “We’ve got a very flexible network so we were able to route supply remotely via our control room in Portsmouth.”
