Outage information is updated on our website automatically. If you are experiencing an outage that isn't on our website, you can report power supply issues to your electricity retailer or contact us directly on 0800 430 460.
Below are the current and planned outages across our network.
Please be aware that the restoration times for planned and unplanned outages are estimates. When the power goes out, it may not come back on all at once. Some areas may have power restored before others.
We only display outages that affect multiple customers on the website. If there's an outage that affects just one customer, it won't be shown here. From time-to-time, we or our contractors will directly notify you if there's a low voltage outage in less than 10 working days in advance.
