Town has had another power cut
The power went out for the third time in three weeks in Tranent this afternoon.
ScottishPower said homes and businesses were affected after a fault in a 33,000 volt cable.
Engineers are expected to work through the night to resolve the problem.
The power company said most people affected had power restored within 35 minutes.
A fault at the Tranent substation plunged homes in the town and surrounding area into darkness twice in recent weeks.
A ScottishPower spokesman said: "We were able to restore power remotely and engineers are working through the night.
"We apologise for any inconvenience caused."
