About 80 homes between Haxby Road and Huntington Road in York are without power this evening.
The power cut was reported just before 2pm.
Nnorthern Powergrid says it was caused by an 'unexpected problem with the electricity cable' that serves the area.
It says engineers are working to restore power, and hope to have it back on by 11.30pm.
