Support staff may be starting late today due to a lack of electricity at our office. It appears to be an underground cable fault.
The @aaisp office may be a bit late starting today due to power issue. We’re not sure yet if it is worth setting up home working or if power will be back. May be after the normal 10am though. Sorry for any inconvenience. pic.twitter.com/K13KLJSLHq

A genset has been spliced into the mains incomer, meaning power to the offices has been restored whilst the energy supplier continue to work on repairing the faulty section of underground cable.
The generator is planned to be removed "later tonight" according to engineers, who are currently working hard to repair the fault having dug a few more holes and so far managed to avoid the fibre to the office. This work involves disconnecting other parts of the industrial estate to make it safe to disconnect power, then disconnecting ourselves from the genset. Once disconnected, our mains incomer will be spliced back to the repaired cable.
This is not expected to impact on operations in the office tomorrow morning as this disconnection and reconnection is happening out of hours, but updates will be posted should the situation change.
