Northern Powergrid, which suppies 3.9m properties with power across the North East, Yorkshire and Lincolnshire said it is working hard to restore the connection to affected individuals.
Record-breaking temperatures that have reached 30°C in Scarborough and 40°C nationwide have caused conductors to sag and transformers to overheat.
