NORMAL network power supplies have been reinstated to homes in a Suffolk town where thousands of people were left without electricity after an explosion and fire at a sub-station.
The power cut was caused by a fire at a sub-station in Bungay on Friday.
A brewery and Cley's printers, which produces JK Rowling's Harry Potter books, were also affected.
EDF Energy said engineers had removed the first temporary generator reinstating 185 homes to the national network yesterday.
