In an online statement, Electricity North West said: "This power cut has been caused by an unexpected incident with the underground cable that provides electricity to your home or business.
"We didn't know before your electricity went off that this was going to happen but now we know, rest assured we will get your power back on safely and as quickly as possible.
"With underground power cuts we may need to dig to repair the cable and this can sometime extend the length of time you are without power."
Engineers remain on site working to resolve the fault.
The company estimates that power will be fully restored by 1.40pm today.
