IPSWICH POWER CUT: CHECK, THEN REPORT

Start with the UK Power Networks live power cut map. If a fault is shown there, crews are already dealing with it. If your property is without electricity and it is not shown, call 105, free and available 24/7. Someone will pass your details to UK Power Networks. Keep clear of any cable brought down by wind or traffic.

Before you report it, check your consumer unit or trip switch for a tripped circuit. Look outside to see whether nearby homes or street lights are off too. That helps distinguish a problem at your property from a wider interruption. If only your property is affected, reset a switch only when it is safe and you know why it tripped. If it trips again, leave it off and seek help from a qualified electrician.

WHILE THE POWER IS OFF

  • Keep fridge and freezer doors shut as much as possible to protect food.
  • Unplug delicate electronics and appliances you left on, so they are protected when electricity returns.
  • Use torches rather than candles, and check whether a neighbour needs help.
  • Charge your phone from a car if you can.

IPSWICH WORKPLACES THAT CANNOT STOP

Think of the Port of Ipswich, one of the Haven ports, the council and court offices on Russell Road, and the Adastral Park science park at Martlesham Heath. All depend on reliable supply. A disruption can pause day-to-day operations and affect the teams and visitors using those sites. We provide 24/7 emergency generator hire, standby generators, and generator servicing and maintenance to help sites plan for an interruption. Our Ipswich service page sets out generator hire and maintenance, and our guide explains how to keep your business running.

RECENT LOCAL FAULTS

On the evening of 27 February 2025, an underground cable fault left around 40 homes in Castle Hill, mainly around Henley Road, without power. By the following morning, all but 11 of those homes had been reconnected. UK Power Networks maintains the cables and overhead lines here. Households with health or mobility needs may be eligible for the Priority Services Register.
