ILKESTON POWER CUT: WHAT NOW?
Type your postcode into the checker on this page, or use the National Grid map. If no fault shows, call 105, the free national number. Keep away from low or fallen wires.
Nothing on the map and the neighbours still lit? Check the consumer unit, because a tripped switch means the problem is inside your property. Switch off anything you suspect, and call an electrician if the switch will not stay up.
- Turn off the cooker and iron.
- Charge power banks when supply returns.
- Keep the fridge and freezer shut.
- Unplug sensitive electronics so the returning supply cannot damage them.
- Ask an older neighbour whether they need anything.
Should the cut drag on into the evening, shut the curtains and internal doors to keep heat in the rooms you are using, and leave a torch at the foot of the stairs.
ILKESTON BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY
The former Stanton Ironworks site, now partly a business park, Ilkeston Community Hospital and the units across the Erewash valley depend on constant power. Our Ilkeston team offers sales, hire and maintenance, and the business continuity guide sets out what to protect first.
On these sites a cut stops machinery mid-cycle and can leave essential services without lighting or equipment. A hospital still has patients to look after, and a small unit can lose an afternoon of orders. We provide 24/7 emergency generator hire, standby generators, and generator servicing and maintenance for workshops, units and public services across the town. Tell us which loads must stay on and we can size the supply to suit them. We can deliver a hired set for a short outage or install a standby generator for sites that want permanent cover.

ILKESTON’S NETWORK
National Grid Electricity Distribution owns the substations, underground cables and overhead lines feeding Ilkeston. Households that rely on electricity for health or mobility may be eligible to join the Priority Services Register.
Firms in the Erewash valley that run machinery, CNC kit or refrigeration should find out what a 30-minute cut would cost them. A standby generator, hired or bought, can reduce that risk, and the Ilkeston team can advise on sizing.
When the lights come back, bring machines and computers back online one at a time instead of switching everything on together.
