POWER CUT IN SOUTHAMPTON? CHECK LIVE OUTAGES
Check live outages and restoration times on SSEN’s Power Track map. Call 105 free to report a power cut and be put through to SSEN.
If only your home is affected, look for a tripped switch in the consumer unit. Dark street lights and neighbours without power point to a network fault, so report it.
- Keep the freezer shut so the contents stay frozen.
- Find the torches and keep candles out of the way.
- Unplug laptops and televisions so a surge on reconnection cannot damage them.
- Turn off the cooker and heaters, then wait for the supply to settle before switching them back on.
Write down when the supply failed, and keep a phone charged so you can check Power Track again later. If an older neighbour lives alone, see whether they need a torch, a blanket or a hot drink from a flask.
GENERATOR SUPPORT FOR SOUTHAMPTON BUSINESSES
Southampton’s port, container terminal, cruise terminals, logistics and marine businesses depend on reliable power. A cut can halt cargo handling, warm refrigerated stock and shut down gate, security and office systems. Warehouses near the docks lose chilled stock, and offices lose phones and IT the moment the supply drops. We provide 24/7 emergency generator hire for sudden outages, and we install and service standby generators for sites that need backup in place every day. If you call, tell us what has to stay on, how long you expect to need power and where a generator could stand, so we can size it correctly. We offer emergency generator hire, standby resilience and local support.
For a power cut at home, call 105. Our generator services are for businesses.
