Power Cuts

  1. Have the national 105 emergency helpline on hand – it’s best to keep this on the fridge or saved in the contacts on your mobile phone. Report any power cuts immediately and we will keep you updated by text or voice alert messaging whilst our engineers are working to restore your power. 
  2. Store a battery or wind-up torch – leave this somewhere you can access easily so you can use the torch to check on the fuse box and make your way around the house safely. 
  3. Beware of fallen power lines – power lines may have fallen so beware of this when venturing out of your home. Always treat them as live and report them right away by calling 105. 
  4. Keep your mobile charged – having your mobile phone charged means you can call for support if needed. It’s also worth having an analogue phone as this doesn’t run off the main electricity supply. 
  5. Keep the heat in – if your power does go out, your heating might not work so keep extra blankets nearby and close window shutters, blinds, or curtains to help keep the heat in. 

SP Energy Networks also have a  for customers who may need extra support in a power cut.
