ELECTRICITY suppliers EDF Energy are still investigating the cause of a network failure which left almost 3,000 homes and businesses without power.

About 2,800 customers in and around Snodland lost power at about noon on Friday.

EDF Energy say engineers restored power to more than 600 customers by 1.15pm, with the remaining customers back on supply by 1.40pm.

The company have apologised for any inconvenience caused by the incident and are now investigating the cause.
