POWER CUT IN PLYMOUTH? CHECK LIVE OUTAGES

The checker below shows outages reported by National Grid, which serves Devon and Cornwall. You can also use National Grid’s power cut map. Call 105 free to report a cut.

Before reporting, open the consumer unit and look for a tripped switch. If your switches are fine and the street lights are out as well, it is a network fault and worth reporting.

  • Keep the freezer closed and use up fridge food first.
  • Use torches, since a candle knocked over in the dark can start a fire.
  • Unplug computers and TVs until the supply is steady again.
  • Look in on older neighbours, especially on cold or stormy evenings.

If the cut follows a storm, stay away from fallen trees and branches that may be touching overhead lines, and keep children and dogs indoors. Write down when the supply failed in case food or equipment is damaged.

GENERATOR SUPPORT FOR PLYMOUTH BUSINESSES

Plymouth’s defence, marine, healthcare, education and food-production businesses cannot afford long downtime. A cut can stop a boatyard’s lifting gear, warm a food producer’s chillers and leave offices without phones or IT. Our engineers provide 24/7 emergency generator hire for outages that arrive without warning, and we install and service standby generators for sites that need backup on hand every day. Tell us what must run, for how long and where on site a generator can sit, and we can match the set to the job. Waterfront sites can be exposed and awkward to reach, so access details help too. We offer emergency generator hire, standby systems and local servicing.

For a power cut at home, call 105. Our generator services are for businesses.
