This was a 1998 incident which sounds like it was the same circumstances as the 1995 one, power failure at Divis.

Providing standby generators for the power required for analogue TV transmitters wasn't viable - the only exception was Bilsdale where two diversely routed mains feeders were not available so a gas turbine generator was provided.
I think the generators referred to in Robert's post are at the studio end, presumably the pylon fault took out much of Glasgow's power too?
