A number of homes in Bolton have been left without power due to a cut.
Electricity North West first reported a problem around 6.40pm which has left over 28 properties without power.
Power is not expected to be restored to these properties until after midnight tonight.
A number of BL3 postcodes are affected.
An Electricity North West spokesman said: "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 the properties."
