POWER CUT IN GREATER MANCHESTER? CHECK LIVE OUTAGES

Check live outages across Manchester, Salford, Stockport, Oldham, Bolton, Wigan and the wider region on SP Electricity North West’s power-cut page and live map. Call 105 free to report an outage.

Is the fault yours or the network’s? Look at the consumer unit first. If a switch has tripped, reset it once; if it trips again, unplug appliances and call an electrician. If the switches are fine and the street is dark, the live map is the place to look. Write down when the supply failed; it helps if food spoils or equipment is damaged.

  • Keep the freezer closed and eat from the fridge first.
  • Battery lamps are safer than candles.
  • Turn off the oven, hob and heaters so they do not come back on while you are out.
  • Pop next door if a neighbour is elderly or lives alone.
  • Keep a torch by the bed and another by the front door.

GENERATOR SUPPORT FOR GREATER MANCHESTER BUSINESSES

Trafford Park’s 1,300-plus businesses, as well as manufacturers, distribution hubs and care homes, cannot afford long stoppages. A manufacturer loses output by the hour, a distribution hub misses its collection slots, and a care home has residents who need heat and light. We provide 24/7 emergency generator hire for sudden outages, and we install and service standby generators for sites that need backup ready every day. If you call us, have a rough idea of what must run, for how long, and where a generator could stand on site. See generator hire in Manchester, standby resilience and our Manchester team.

For a power cut at home, call 105. Our generator services are for businesses.
