LIGHTS OUT IN THE POTTERIES
Faults in Hanley, Burslem, Longton and Fenton go to National Grid Electricity Distribution. Its live outage map shows current incidents, and the checker on this page does the same. Ring 105 to report a cut or an exposed cable, and keep well clear of anything damaged.
- Unplug sensitive electronics until supply is stable.
- Reach for a torch, not a candle.
- Only your house dark? A tripped switch in the consumer unit is the usual suspect.
- Keep the fridge and freezer closed so food holds its temperature.
- Look in on anyone vulnerable living nearby.
If the heating goes off too, wear layers and close the doors of rooms you are not using. Keep a phone charged so you can ring 105 for an update, and bring appliances back on gradually once power returns.
POWER FOR STOKE BUSINESSES
Employers around Festival Park in Etruria and Phoenix Park in Longton need a reliable supply, as does Royal Stoke University Hospital with its 7,000-plus staff. Ceramics and distribution operations lose output the moment a line stops. Learn how we keep your business running or arrange emergency generator hire around the clock.
A cut can stop kilns mid-firing, halt loading bays and leave tills and site systems dead. Hospital wards need power around the clock, and distribution sites on the business parks still have deliveries to load. Our 24/7 emergency generator hire puts temporary power where it is needed, and we also supply standby generators and service and maintain existing sets. Tell us the load, the location and how long you need cover, and we will suggest a practical arrangement. If you already own a generator, a regular service helps keep it ready for use.

STORMS AND THE NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE NETWORK
On 5 December 2024 a possible tornado tore through Kidsgrove and Talke, uprooting around 150 trees in Clough Hall Park, a sign of how hard wind can hit the area. In January 2026 heavy snow from Storm Goretti fell across the West Midlands, and National Grid Electricity Distribution reported that some customers in its regions were off supply for several days. The same operator maintains the overhead and underground network here. Customers who may be eligible can join its Priority Services Register for extra support during an outage.
