Over a dozen homes in Blackrod have been left without power due to a cut.
Homes around Meadow Way and Highfield Road, off Station Road in Blackrod, have been left without power since around 1:30pm due to a fault with an underground cable.
Electricity North West say at least 13 properties are affected, all with a BL6 postcode.
Staff are currently on site working to fix the issue, with power expected to be restored around 7:40 tonight.
An Electricity North West spokesman said: "We are sorry you are experiencing a power cut.
"We are currently investigating the issue.
"The power cut in the area has been caused by an unexpected incident with the underground cable that provides electricity to properties."
