Working long days and nights and some time in precarious positions, the staff managed to get the last home reconnected on Wednesday night after homes in 11 parishes were affected.

Jersey Electricity’s energy division director David Padfield said: ‘Our teams have worked long hours and done an incredible job in atrocious and often dangerous conditions.

‘I’m sorry we couldn’t restore every customer’s electricity more quickly, but in some cases the elements were very much against us. We tried our very best.’
