NEARLY 1,700 homes in Chingford were left without power yesterday because of a fault on an underground electrical cable.
The fault occurred on 8.32pm yesterday (Monday) but electrical company EDF Energy has now restored electricity to all but 59 homes by 10.55pm.
The remainder of the homes received their power back by 3.15am today (Tuesday).
An EDF Energy spokeswoman said: "We would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused."
