Storm Dennis - Message from UK Power Networks

14/2/2020

 
Unfortunately you may have seen that we are once again facing high winds and bad weather this weekend (15 & 16 Feb) as a result of Storm Dennis.  
Our electricity network is built to be resilient but extreme weather can damage overhead power lines resulting in some customers losing their electricity supply.  Where this happens we work to restore power as quickly and safely as possible, and we have organised for additional staff in our contact centre and more engineers on the ground to be available to help customers whose electricity supply might be affected by the predicted weather.

Both you and your constituents will be able to find regular updates on our website www.ukpowernetworks.co.uk and social media @UKPowerNetworks throughout this period.

Anyone experiencing a power cut should:

  •  Call 105 free of charge to report power cuts and damage to the electricity network, or 0800 3163 105 (from a corded landline phone or mobile phone)
  • Visit www.ukpowernetworks.co.uk for the latest updates (on a mobile phone)
  • Visit www.ukpowernetworks.co.uk/powercut and type in their postcode to view our live power cut map
  • Tweet @ukpowernetworks to report a power cuts or to receive updates
 We advise people to stay clear of power lines and report damaged power lines immediately by calling 105 free from either a landline or a mobile phone. If they see electricity lines that are down or causing significant risk to the public they should call 999.

 We provide extra help to customers on our Priority Service Register during a power cut.  Households with older or disabled people, those with children under five, or where someone uses medical or mobility equipment that requires electricity as well as other reasons can join the register.  You can find out more information about our Priority Service on our website: ukpowernetworks.co.uk/priority .

 If you would like to share information about preparing for the storm or the priority service register on social media you might like to use the following:

 As a result of #StormDennis, heavy rain and high winds are due to arrive again this weekend. @UKPowerNetworks has extra field engineers and call centre staff on hand. Call 105 to report a powercut or visit www.ukpowernetworks.co.uk/powercut #ukpnnews

 Do you, or someone you know, need extra support during a power cut? @UKPowerNetworks provides free services to customers in vulnerable circumstances during a power cut. Visit ukpowernetworks.co.uk/priority for more information. #StormDennis #ukpnnews
