Chorley Power Cut Checker

Chorley is on the SP Electricity North West network. Check its live map for outages, or call 105 free to report one. Need backup for a business? Our Chorley generator hire service is available 24/7.
SP Electricity North West runs the network here. See faults, with restoration estimates where available, on its live power cuts page, or ring 105 from any phone at no cost. If you spot a downed cable, keep back and report it. Keep children and pets away from it too.
Check your own fuses first: if a trip switch in the consumer unit has dropped, the fault may be inside the house. If it will not stay on, leave it off rather than resetting it again and again. When the neighbours and street lights are dark too, look for the fault on the live map, and have your postcode ready if you need to report it.
Chorley and South Ribble Hospital on Euxton Lane and the industrial units at Buckshaw Village are examples of sites where a cut has real consequences. Depending on the premises, a short interruption can stop tills, lighting, heating controls, security systems and production processes. Shops, workshops and offices across the town face the same risk on a smaller scale. Each site has different loads, so we size the generator to the equipment that must keep running. We supply standby generators for sites that want cover ready, and service and maintain generators too. For wider cover, read how we keep your business running or call about emergency generator hire, available 24/7.
