Power cut? Call 105 — free, 24/7, for any electricity network in the UK.

Who looks after your electricity?

Different companies look after electricity networks across the UK. If your power goes off, it's the electricity network operator — not the company you pay your electricity bill to — that's responsible for fixing it. outages.uk brings together information from all of them; we don't run any of them.

Need to report a power cut right now? Call 105, free and available 24/7 for any electricity network in Great Britain (Northern Ireland has its own number, listed for NIE Networks below).
