POWER OUT IN HIGH WYCOMBE?
SSEN maintains the network in High Wycombe. Its PowerTrack map lists known faults, with restoration estimates where available. Call 105 if yours is missing. Keep clear of fallen cables.
Check the obvious first. If the house next door has lights and you do not, open your consumer unit and look for a tripped switch. If the whole road is out, the fault is on the network side.
- Note the time the supply failed.
- Take a photo of spoiled food if you may claim.
- Unplug sensitive electronics so a surge on reconnection cannot harm them.
- Light the house with torches, never candles.
Keep a phone charged so you can check PowerTrack again later, and switch off the cooker, iron and heaters so nothing comes back on while you are out. If an older neighbour lives alone, a quick check on them is a kind thing to do.
WYCOMBE’S WORKING AREAS
The Cressex industrial district, Wooburn Industrial Estate and the Buckinghamshire New University campus all need dependable power. On an industrial estate, a cut can stop machines mid-cycle and leave goods stuck in the loading bay. On a campus, lecture rooms, labs and IT go quiet at once. Our emergency hire covers sudden outages at any hour, and for sites that want permanent cover, we install standby generators and keep them serviced. Engineering firms, warehouses and offices each have different loads, so tell us what must keep running and for how long. We can size the set to that load, so you are not paying for more power than you need. The closest of our service pages is generator hire and sales around Reading, which also serves the Thames Valley, and our emergency hire line runs 24/7.

WHAT STORMS HAVE DONE TO THE SSEN SOUTHERN NETWORK
Storm Henk struck central southern England on 2 January 2024 with gusts above 60mph in many places. By 10am on 3 January SSEN had restored supply to more than 56,000 homes, with about 1,900 still waiting. High Wycombe is part of SSEN’s southern network. Households that depend on power for health reasons may be eligible for the free Priority Services Register.
Wycombe businesses with servers, tills or cold storage should decide in advance what must stay on. A standby generator sized for those essential loads may be economical depending on installation costs and potential losses, and we can advise on the right size.
After Storm Henk, SSEN said customers left without power for more than 12 hours could claim back food and drink costs of up to £30 per person per day, with receipts. Keep those receipts and a note of the timings.
