POWER CUT IN WIGAN? START HERE
SP Electricity North West runs the network across Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cumbria, including Wigan. Visit the SP Electricity North West live power cut map to check your area, or ring 105 (24 hours a day) to report a fault or damaged equipment. Stay well away from any fallen line. Warehouses and workshops should note which machines need a controlled shutdown and restart.
At home, check the consumer unit before anything else. If a switch has tripped and will not reset, the problem is in your wiring and an electrician can help. If the whole street is dark, the fault is on the network. Jot down when the supply failed and keep a phone charged so you can look at the map again later.
- Keep the freezer door closed.
- Use battery lights rather than candles.
- Turn off heaters and the cooker so they do not restart unattended.
- Unplug the computer and TV until the supply is steady.
- If a neighbour is older or lives alone, make sure they are warm and have a light.
WIGAN BUSINESS SITES AND BACKUP POWER
Westwood Park business park and the engineering teaching at Wigan and Leigh College’s Pagefield Centre both need power to keep running. A business park office loses phones, IT and heating in a cut, and a college workshop has to stop practical classes. We provide 24/7 emergency generator hire, along with standby generators and maintenance for sites that want backup in place. Tell us what must run and where a set could be parked, and we can match the generator to your site. For local support, see our nearby Chorley service page and read about keeping your business running.

HOW YOUR SUPPLY IS MAINTAINED
SP Electricity North West owns and maintains the cables, overhead lines and substations serving Wigan and the neighbouring towns. For a site that cannot stop, a standby generator can reduce the risk of downtime, and it only takes over automatically when fitted with automatic start and an automatic transfer switch. Older or vulnerable people, and anyone who depends on medical equipment, may be eligible for SP Electricity North West’s free Priority Services Register.
