NO ELECTRICITY IN PORTSMOUTH?
SSEN (Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks) runs the network serving Portsmouth. Check the SSEN PowerTrack map for your postcode, then call 105 to report a fault or get an update. Report anything that looks like a damaged line and keep clear.
- Look at your consumer unit for tripped switches.
- Ask a neighbour whether they have power.
If the switches are fine and the next-door house is dark too, the fault is on the network and should appear on PowerTrack. While you wait, keep the fridge and freezer closed, unplug computers and televisions, and use a torch in place of candles. Anyone on your street who lives alone or relies on care may appreciate a quick visit. When power comes back, switch heavy appliances on one by one, and throw out chilled food that has been left warm for too long.
PORTSMOUTH BUSINESSES NEED CONTINUITY
Portsmouth International Port handles ferry and freight traffic, and Queen Alexandra Hospital in Cosham treats patients round the clock. Businesses of every size around the city face the same question: what stops if the lights go out? For a warehouse it may be loading doors and stock systems; for a shop, tills and chillers; for an office, phones and servers. In a port city, ferry operators, freight yards and the businesses around them all need lighting, communications and refrigeration they can count on. We provide 24/7 emergency generator hire, standby generators for sites that want backup in place, and generator servicing and maintenance to keep installed sets dependable. Tell us what must stay on and we can help size a generator to match. Our guide to how to keep your business running covers the answer, and our Portsmouth service area page lists local options.

HOW PORTSMOUTH POWER IS MAINTAINED
Most of Portsmouth sits on Portsea Island, with Cosham, Drayton and Farlington on the mainland side of Ports Creek. SSEN maintains the cables and substations across both and responds to faults. Outages can follow storm damage, a cable fault or work by a third party. Households that may need extra help in an outage may be eligible for the Priority Services Register.
