WAKEFIELD POWER CUT? GET THE FACTS
Northern Powergrid maintains the cables, lines and substations in Wakefield. Check the Northern Powergrid map for your area, then dial 105 for free to report or update a cut. Stay away from any fallen line.
- Look for tripped switches at home.
- Check on elderly neighbours.
- If the street lights are out too, it is a network fault, so report it.
- Leave the freezer closed and use torches, not candles.
- Switch off appliances so they do not all restart at once.
Keep a phone charged so you can check the map for updates, and unplug the TV and computer until the supply has settled. If the cut drags on into the evening, gather everyone in one room and close the curtains to keep the warmth in. Make a note of when the supply failed in case food or equipment is damaged.
KEEPING WAKEFIELD WORKING
Wakefield Europort, a rail-connected warehousing and industrial estate by junction 31 of the M62, and Pinderfields Hospital need power without breaks. Warehouses lose chilled stock quickly and offices lose systems. In a busy distribution shed, a cut stops scanners, conveyors and loading doors at the same moment, and drivers sit waiting while dispatch stalls. Smaller firms on trading estates around the city feel the same pressure on a smaller scale. We provide 24/7 emergency generator hire for sudden outages, plus standby generators and servicing for sites that want permanent cover. Tell us which loads must keep running, from loading doors to cold rooms, and where a generator could stand in the yard, and we will size it to suit. Our guide on how to keep your business running sets out the steps.
