SWANSEA POWER CUT NOW? START HERE
The wires and substations in Swansea and across South Wales belong to National Grid Electricity Distribution. Scroll down to the checker on this page, use the National Grid map, or phone 105 free. Keep away from any broken cable or pole.
- Unplug sensitive electronics.
- Keep the fridge and freezer doors shut.
- Look at your fuse box: a tripped switch means the fault is inside your home.
- Check whether neighbours and street lights are out before you report it.
- Keep children and pets away from any damaged wiring.
On a dark evening, torches are far safer than candles. Close internal doors to hold the heat in, and look in on anyone nearby who may struggle without power. Write down when the cut began, in case food spoils, and switch off cookers and heaters so nothing restarts unattended.
BUSINESS CONTINUITY ACROSS SWANSEA
Swansea Enterprise Park, which in 1981 became the first enterprise zone in the UK, mixes industrial units, offices and retail. Swansea Docks and Swansea University also run on a constant supply. Planning for an outage means deciding what must stay on: tills, freezers, servers or production lines. For a shop, that might be the card machine and the chillers; for a unit on the docks, the lighting and the loading gear. We provide 24/7 emergency generator hire, standby generators and servicing to keep installed sets ready. Give us a rough list of essential loads and where a generator could be parked, and we can match the set to the job. Our page on how to keep your business running explains the options, from standby sets to hire.
