At least 3,331 houses have been affected by a power cut in the town.
Thousands of homes in and around Maidstone are without electric after a high voltage cable was damaged, UK Power Networks has confirmed.
Power isn't expected to be back on for customers until between 8.30pm and 9.30pm.
Engineers are on their way to the scene to assess and fix the problem which caused an "area wide powercut".
The company said: "We're sorry for any disruption this may be causing you.
"We may be able to get some customers on sooner."
More as we get it.
