LEEDS HAS LOST POWER: NEXT STEPS
Open the Northern Powergrid live power cut map and look for your postcode. If it is not shown yet, call 105 to log the fault. Assume any fallen line is live and keep your distance. Keep the fridge door shut and use torches rather than candles.
- Check your trip switch before assuming a network fault.
- Ask neighbours whether their power is on.
- Unplug computers and televisions until the supply is steady again.
- If anyone at home relies on powered equipment, start their backup plan early.
- Keep a charged phone to hand for updates from the map.
For offices, check that emergency lighting works and that servers shut down cleanly if the cut lasts longer than your battery backup. Save open work and switch off printers and monitors so they do not all restart together.
LEEDS COMMERCIAL SITES THAT CANNOT STOP
The enterprise zone sites strung along the A63 East Leeds Link Road, the waterside workplaces at Leeds Dock and the canal-side Granary Wharf quarter all need dependable supply. On sites like these a cut can take out lighting, lifts, door access and communications at once, and where offices, shops and restaurants share a building, one fault can close several businesses. It helps to know in advance which circuits must stay live, which equipment can wait and who handles the changeover, so temporary power goes where it matters.
We provide 24/7 emergency generator hire for urgent situations, plus standby generators and generator servicing and maintenance for planned resilience. We can help through our Leeds generator hire service, and our Leeds page gives the full range. Tell us what you need to keep running and where the generator can sit.

WHO KEEPS LEEDS CONNECTED
Northern Powergrid owns the lines and substations across Leeds as part of its Yorkshire network. A fault on one circuit can leave a whole group of streets dark, which is why businesses often choose standby power. Households may be eligible for the free Priority Services Register if someone is older, vulnerable or needs electricity for medical equipment.
