Engineers will be on site in Kettering today to fix problems which caused power cuts affecting about10,000 people over the weekend.
Two unconnected faults led to problems with electricity supplies in the NN15 postcode area although supplies were restored within minutes.
A spokesman for Western Power Distribution said: "We have now located the cause of both faults and our engineers will be on site to carry out a permanent repair. WPD apologises for any inconvenience caused by these faults."
