NOTTINGHAM POWER CUT: WHAT TO DO FIRST

National Grid Electricity Distribution owns the cables and substations in Nottingham and the East Midlands. Scroll to the checker on this page, or open the National Grid outage map. Call 105 for free to report a cut or ask for an update. Never touch a damaged cable.

If your neighbours’ windows are lit and yours are not, the problem is likely in your home. Check the consumer unit for a switch in the off position. A dark street usually means a network fault that the checker should list.

  • Switch off appliances that could restart suddenly.
  • Use torches rather than candles.
  • Charge a phone from a power bank.
  • Unplug computers and televisions to spare them a surge.
  • Keep the fridge and freezer closed, and look in on vulnerable neighbours.

Once power is back, give the system a few minutes to settle before plugging everything in, and check food in the freezer before you cook it.

POWER FOR NOTTINGHAM WORKPLACES

The Queen’s Medical Centre, the University of Nottingham campuses and the warehouses and workshops across the city depend on a continuous supply. A short cut can still corrupt data or spoil stock. In a warehouse, scanners, racking lights and loading doors fall silent; in a workshop, machines stop mid-job. On a hospital or university site, labs, lifts and IT all need a dependable supply. Tell us which loads must stay powered and we can help size a generator to match, for an emergency or a planned shutdown. We provide emergency generator hire 24/7, standby generators and generator servicing and maintenance. Our guide on how to keep your business running sets out standby options, and the Nottingham service page covers hire and installation.

HOW NOTTINGHAM’S NETWORK IS LOOKED AFTER

Power reaches Nottingham’s terraces, estates and city centre through a mix of substations, overhead lines and buried cables, and a fault underground gives no visible sign from the pavement. National Grid Electricity Distribution maintains that equipment across Nottinghamshire, and posts live updates while crews locate and repair a fault. Households who may need extra support during an outage may be eligible for the Priority Services Register.

COVERING NOTTINGHAM AND NEARBY

We cover Nottingham, West Bridgford, Newark-on-Trent, Southwell and neighbouring Nottinghamshire towns.

Why is my street dark when the next one is lit?
Streets can be fed from different substations or cables, so a local fault may hit one road and miss another. Report it on 105 either way.
