Hundreds of homes in Oxford are without power today.
Southern Electric is trying to restore power to about 500 homes in the Jericho area.
Residents suffered a blackout at around 8.30am caused by workmen damaging an underground cable.
A spokesman for Southern Electric said engineers were on the scene to repair the cable but power was not expected to be back on until this evening.
