I have no power...

What should I do next?

There are a number of reasons why you may have no power such as an unexpected (unplanned) fault on the network or scheduled maintenance. To find out more please use our live power cut map to find out what is happening in your post code area.

Please note we will update the estimated time of restoration on our website when new information becomes available to us. You can also receive updates by text message by registering your number on our on-line power cut logger providing you with the latest information available from our engineers.

Planned power cuts

A Planned Power Cut

A planned power cut, unlike an unexpected (unplanned) power cut is one we can notify you about in advance, to help you plan your time with advice. Planned power cuts happen for safety reasons so that we can work safely on the network to carry out necessary work such as upgrades and maintenance, ensuring we always keep your power on.
