DERBY POWER CUT: WHERE TO LOOK

The checker on this page shows live outages, and the National Grid Electricity Distribution map gives the same data in full. Report anything new on 105, free in England. Stay away from fallen cables, and do not drive over them.

  1. Open the consumer unit. If one switch has dropped, the problem is probably inside your home.
  2. Step outside. Dark windows next door or unlit street lamps point to a network fault.
  3. Search the checker or the map, and report anything not listed on 105.

Food keeps better if the fridge and freezer stay closed. Torches are safer than candles, especially with children or pets about. Switch sensitive equipment off at the wall so a surge does not damage it, and check whether anyone nearby needs a hand. If someone at home relies on powered medical equipment, put their backup plan into action straight away.

DERBY INDUSTRY AND LOGISTICS

Derby is a manufacturing city. Pride Park was built on the land of the old locomotive works, Infinity Park Derby in Sinfin is an enterprise zone business park for aerospace, rail and automotive technology, and the Litchurch Lane carriage works still builds trains. Production lines like these lose money every minute they stand idle. Workshops, warehouses and offices across the city face the same problem when machinery, lighting or computers stop, and half-finished work on a line may need checking before it can restart. We provide 24/7 emergency generator hire, standby generators, and generator servicing and maintenance. We can advise on generator hire nearby in Ilkeston, and our guide shows how to keep your business running.

DERBY’S LOCAL NETWORK

National Grid Electricity Distribution, formerly Western Power Distribution, runs the East Midlands network that supplies Derby. It maintains the substations, overhead lines and underground cables that carry electricity from the national transmission network to homes and businesses across the city. If someone in your household depends on electricity for medical reasons, you may be eligible for the Priority Services Register, so ask your operator.
