NO POWER IN ALDERSHOT?
SSEN supplies Aldershot and its PowerTrack map is at powertrack.ssen.co.uk. Check it before you phone, then call 105 if your street is not listed. Treat any wire on the ground as live.
A cut that hits only your home is often a tripped switch. Open the consumer unit and look for anything in the off position. If every switch is up and the houses opposite are dark too, the fault is on the network, and PowerTrack or 105 is your next step. Keep a torch somewhere you can find it by touch, such as a drawer by the front door.
- Keep phones topped up where you can.
- Tell neighbours who may need help.
- Leave the freezer shut; the less it is opened, the longer food stays frozen.
- Switch the TV, computer and router off at the wall until the supply is steady.
- Light rooms with torches or battery lamps instead of candles.
- Leave the kettle, iron and heaters switched off, so nothing comes on unattended if you go out.
ALDERSHOT, FARNBOROUGH AND THE GARRISON TOWN
Aldershot Garrison and the commercial units spread across the Aldershot and Farnborough area sit on this network. For hire and standby across the county see our Hampshire page.
For a business unit, a cut means dark premises, stopped machines and card terminals that cannot take a payment. We offer 24/7 emergency generator hire for sites that go dark without warning. If outages keep costing you trade, we can install a standby generator and service it on a regular schedule, so backup is ready when the grid drops out again. When you call, have a rough list of what must keep running, from lights and tills to freezers and machinery, so the generator matches the load.

DARRAGH AND THE HAMPSHIRE GUSTS
Storm Darragh arrived on 6 and 7 December 2024. SSEN reported gusts of 61mph at Odiham, in north Hampshire, and by 8.30pm on 7 December had restored supply to 47,000 customers with another 19,000 homes and businesses being reconnected across central southern England. Repair crews could not work at height while winds stayed strong. Households that rely on power for health reasons may be eligible for the free Priority Services Register.
Overhead lines on the Hampshire and Surrey border are exposed to high wind and falling branches. Local firms, care homes and anyone running essential equipment should have a plan for the longer outages that storms can bring.
If the cut lasts more than a few hours, note the start time. During Storm Darragh, SSEN said customers off supply for more than 12 hours could reclaim food and drink costs, up to £30 per person per day, by keeping their receipts.
