POWER ENGINEERS are soldiering on to restore electricity to hundreds of homes throughout Cowal and Bute - and have brought in the big guns as back-up if storm-force winds prevail.
On Friday, operatives from Scottish Hydro, numerous tree cutters and workers from other power companies were busy working to repair damage and restore power lost during the severe weather earlier in the week.
While staff - who had been working through the night - enjoyed a quick break at a mobile catering facility brought to the Hamilton Street depot by SSE to cater for the extra employees drafted in to assist storm-ravaged Cowal, several large generators were being installed at the former Spence Court site in Queen Street, Dunoon.
The generators have sufficient capacity to power Dunoon, at least, should severe weather once again affect the lines of supply.
The hillside above Dunoon, where main lines are located, has been decimated with trees snapped like matchsticks - but two large harvesters are working to clear the damage and enable engineers to maintain and repair supply as soon as possible.
On Friday morning Shaun Munday, from Scottish Hydro, said it now had less than 1,000 customers without electricity. Customers still lacking electricity have been offered hot food and alternative accommodation.
He said: "We had a busy night, working late into the night and we managed to restore the main high voltage line feeding Bute, Cumbrae and Dunoon. So we managed to get 7,000 people back on overnight and we have just 800 people still off supply."
Mr Munday added that the people still without power were "sprinkled around" the areas of Bute and Argyll, saying: "We certainly are throwing everything at this. We understand the most important thing is to get people back on and get the lights back on."
