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).
