Who to contact?

There are many different electricity networks across Great Britain, we may not be yours.  Check if we supply your property on www.powercut105.com

UK Power Networks is a different company to us: we are unable to help you if they are your network operator. To get in touch with them, click here.

If we do supply your property

Supply interruptions are inconvenient and we strive to minimise their occurence and duration. Look for the first part of your postcode in the boxes below to see if there are any interruptions in your area.

To report a powercut that is not listed, call us on 0800 311 8074.

If you live in a towerblock, it’s likely the wiring is the responsibility of a Building Network Operator: talk to the concierge service or the Facilities company who should be able to assist.
