Storm Doris is expected to reach the UK on Thursday 23 February, bringing a period of severe winds and snow to parts of the country.

Current weather forecasts predict that the main impact of the storm is expected to be in central/northern England. However, strong winds, with potential gusts of up to 60mph, are forecast in parts of our southern distribution network area during Thursday morning.

This is an early forecast with a degree of uncertainty. We will continue to closely track the weather forecast over the next 24hrs and ensure operational readiness to deal with any issues that may arise. We'll keep you up to date with our plans and if there is a significant change to the situation, we will provide a further update on this website and our social media channels.

If you do experience a power cut, or come across any damage to our equipment, please call 105 and one of our advisors will be happy to help.

Members of the public should not approach fallen or damaged power lines, as they may still be live.
