NO POWER IN BLACKPOOL? START HERE
Enter your postcode on the SP Electricity North West power cuts page. If nothing is listed, ring 105 to report it. The number is free in England. Never touch damaged overhead or underground cables.
Worth a quick check first: has a switch tripped in your consumer unit? If the houses opposite and the street lights are dark too, the fault is on the network, so report it. A switch that will not stay up usually points to a faulty appliance, so unplug things one at a time and call an electrician if it keeps tripping.
- Tell vulnerable neighbours, who may need support if the outage runs on.
- Keep a torch handy rather than candles.
- Leave the fridge and freezer closed so food keeps its chill.
- Pull the plug on televisions, games consoles and computers to protect them from a surge when the supply comes back.
- Wrap up warmly if the heating has gone off with the power.
BLACKPOOL BUSINESSES THAT CAN’T GO DARK
At the Blackpool Airport Enterprise Zone, the council is seeking consent for new hangars, and the masterplan includes a digital and technology quarter called Silicon Sands. Hotels, attractions and the Tower also rely on mains power through a long season, and guest houses have the same problem on a smaller scale. On the seafront a cut can shut down kitchens, card machines and rides, and leave guests needing light to find their way out. We offer 24/7 emergency generator hire for an outage already under way, standby generators for sites that want to be ready next time, and servicing and maintenance to keep existing sets reliable. Our Blackpool generator service can supply temporary power, and you can see how to keep your business running.

BLACKPOOL’S ELECTRICITY SUPPLY
SP Electricity North West maintains the cables and substations that serve Blackpool and the wider Fylde coast. The Illuminations, strung along the promenade between Starr Gate and Bispham, are the town’s best-known display of electric light, and since 2020 they have stayed lit from late August into early January. Anyone who may be eligible for the Priority Services Register, such as people relying on powered medical devices, should ask the operator to add them.
