The company that fixes faults in Hull is Northern Powergrid. Open its Northern Powergrid live power cut map to see whether your area is affected. Otherwise call 105, free and open round the clock. Keep well clear of damaged lines and report them.
Before calling, make sure the problem is not inside your home. Look for a tripped switch at the consumer unit, then see whether the houses around you, or the street lights, have gone dark.
When the supply returns, switch appliances back on gradually so the circuit is not overloaded, and check whether food in the freezer has stayed frozen.
Associated British Ports says the Port of Hull handles approximately 10 million tonnes of cargo a year, and its 468-acre Humber International Enterprise Park sits beside the docks. Offices at Humber Quays and the University of Hull campus also need constant power. Around the docks, a cut can halt loading, refrigerated storage, security systems and site lighting, while waterfront offices lose IT and phones. We provide 24/7 emergency generator hire, standby generators for sites that need backup in place, and servicing and maintenance to keep generators ready. Tell us which equipment has to stay powered, and we can help work out the size of generator a site needs and where it can sit safely. For hire and maintenance see our Hull service page, and read about how to keep your business running.
Northern Powergrid maintains the cables, overhead lines and substations serving Hull and the wider Humber area, and it sends engineers when a fault is reported. Anyone who relies on medical equipment, or who is older or vulnerable, may be eligible for the Priority Services Register. Sign up with the operator directly.
