Hide AdEngineers from Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) are currently attempting to resolve the issue.
The fiasco comes after nearly 50,000 people were affected by a huge blackout across the city on Monday.
Last night also saw another power cut as people again living in the PO4 postcode were thrown into darkness.
The power giant has been forced to apologise for the last two nights.
