Rutland Villages lost power following North Luffenham substation fire
Residents across several Rutland villages experienced sudden power outages yesterday, July 29, 2026, after a high-voltage transformer caught fire near North Luffenham Hall.
The unexpected blackout left homes, local businesses, and agricultural properties without electricity during the afternoon and into the evening, disrupting daily routines across the region.
Emergency services and local electrical distribution teams rushed to the scene following reports of smoke and flames visible near the historic North Luffenham Hall estate.
Repair crews mobilised immediately to reroute power supplies and initiate repairs on the damaged infrastructure. While the exact duration of the outage varied by street and village, power was progressively restored to the majority of affected properties by late Tuesday evening.
Including Market Place, Market Street, Church Street, Crown Walk,
John Street, Melton Road and Deans Street and Gaol Street.
