HASTINGS POWER CUT: GET A STATUS

UK Power Networks looks after the cables in Hastings and St Leonards. Open the UK Power Networks map for a status, and if your outage is missing, call 105. Do not touch damaged cables.

Is it just your property? Check your consumer unit first. If the trip switch has moved, reset it only when it is safe and you know why it tripped. Then look outside: dark windows along the road or unlit street lamps mean the fault is on the network, and the map will show whether it has been logged, with any restoration estimate.

  • Close fridge doors to hold the cold.
  • Use a torch rather than candles.
  • Unplug delicate electronics until electricity comes back.
  • Keep a phone charged so you can follow updates on the map.
  • Check in on older neighbours.

BUSINESS CONTINUITY IN HASTINGS AND ST LEONARDS

Conquest Hospital and East Sussex College’s Hastings campuses are among the places that need uninterrupted supply, along with the industrial estates around the town. The closest of our pages is generator hire and sales in Brighton and Hove, and emergency generators are available 24/7.

For a business, an outage stops routine work quickly. Kitchens lose refrigeration, offices cannot process orders, guest houses lose heating and hot water, and workshops are left without essential tools. A practical plan sets out who makes decisions, which equipment matters most and where a temporary generator can be connected safely.

We provide 24/7 emergency generator hire, standby generators, and generator servicing and maintenance, and can help you work out the capacity and connection your site needs. Call our 24/7 line on 0115 9444 422.

HOW HASTINGS POWER FAILS

UK Power Networks is the network operator for Hastings and St Leonards, which owns and repairs the poles and underground cables in the borough. Households that need power for medical reasons may be eligible for the free Priority Services Register, so it is worth asking the operator.

Coastal weather can bring wind and salt to equipment. Hotels, care homes and seafront businesses in particular should know how they would keep tills, lifts and refrigeration running if supply failed, and we can talk through standby options.

After supply returns, restart equipment in stages rather than all at once, so motors and IT kit are not hit by a surge.
