POWER CUT IN CARDIFF? CHECK LIVE OUTAGES
The checker below shows outages reported by National Grid Electricity Distribution, which serves South Wales. You can also use National Grid’s power cut map. Call 105 free to report a cut.
No light anywhere in the house? See whether the main switch on your consumer unit has flipped. If it has not, and the street lights or the houses opposite are out too, the checker should list the fault. If it does not, ring 105.
- Leave the fridge and freezer closed so the food inside stays chilled.
- Unplug sensitive electronics so nothing is damaged when the supply comes back.
- Use torches in place of candles, and see whether an older neighbour needs a hand.
Once power is back, switch things on gradually, starting with heating and the fridge, and check any medicines that need to be kept cool.
GENERATOR SUPPORT FOR CARDIFF BUSINESSES
A cut can stop trade at Cardiff Gate, the Port, food businesses, care homes and manufacturers. We provide generator hire in Cardiff, standby power and local generator servicing.
At a cold store or on a production line, time without power can mean spoiled stock or a stalled shift, and care homes need lights, heating and call systems working through the night. We provide 24/7 emergency generator hire for unplanned cuts, standby generators for sites that cannot risk one, and servicing and maintenance to keep existing generators ready to run. For manufacturers, an uncontrolled stop can also damage tooling and leave a line needing checks before it restarts, so tell us which equipment matters most and we can help match a generator to it.
For a power cut at home, call 105. Our generator services are for businesses.
