SNOW, STORMS AND COVENTRY’S CABLES
Storm Goretti’s once-in-a-decade snowfall in January 2026 was wet and heavy enough to snap power lines, and around 15,000 homes in the Midlands and Wales lost supply. National Grid Electricity Distribution owns the substations and cables serving Coventry and its engineers carry out the repairs after faults like these. If you are elderly, have a medical condition or a young child, you may be eligible for the Priority Services Register.
COVENTRY POWER CUT: WHAT NOW?
Check the map below or the National Grid Electricity Distribution power cut map. Nothing there? Call 105, free in England. Keep clear of any fallen or sparking cable.
- Switch off appliances you left running.
- Check whether street lights near you are also out.
- If the street is lit and your house is not, look for a tripped switch at the fuse board.
- Unplug the TV, computer and games console until the supply settles.
A long cut on a winter evening gets cold quickly. Close curtains and internal doors to keep the warmth in one room, put on extra layers and keep the freezer shut so food stays frozen. Torches are safer than candles. If an older neighbour lives alone, a knock on their door is worth the effort. Keep a phone charged so you can check the map, and note when the supply failed in case food spoils.
COVENTRY UNIVERSITIES AND AUTOMOTIVE SITES
Two universities, the University of Warwick and Coventry University, drive much of the local economy, and Whitley is home to a major automotive research and design centre. Labs, data rooms and test facilities do not tolerate interruptions. Smaller engineering firms and warehouses feel a cut too: stalled machines, missed deliveries and staff with nothing to do until the supply returns. We provide 24/7 emergency generator hire, and we can fit and maintain a standby generator so you are ready for the next outage. If you call us, tell us what must run, how long you expect to need power and where a generator could be parked safely. Our Coventry generator service covers standby power, and our guide covers how to keep your business running.
