The company said at 7pm that 2,433 homes were without power across the 'rural Newbury' area because the flooding and fallen trees had made accessing work areas difficult.
It says that more than 1,000 engineers, linesmen, tree-cutters, line patrollers and support staff have been at work since early this morning with the aim of restoring all power supplies as soon as possible.
