There are power cuts in the Newbuildings area and other parts of the Waterside.
Gary Middleton MLA says currently 1128 homes are affected.
He said: "This has been caused by a collapsed electricity pole on the Trench Road which has meant that the power has been tripped as a safety precaution.
"NIE have been informed and an engineer is currently on the way to the area."
