Scottish and Southern Electricity
Networks (SSEN) works hard all year round to keep the power flowing to millions
of homes and businesses across Northern Scotland and Central Southern
England.
However, on occasions the weather can
have other ideas. Storm-force winds, heavy snowfall and flooding can cause
disruption to the electricity distribution network.
This is why we’ve got lots of
information and tips to help you learn more about how to prepare ahead of
adverse weather (which could cause disruption to power supplies) or know what
to do if you experience a power cut.
The key three things
to remember which can help you be ready:
1) Call
105 if you experience a power cut (it’s worth taking a note of the number too!)
2) Download
the SSEN Power Track App which can help you report a power cut, report
damage to the electricity network and be kept up-to-date on power restoration
times
3) Join
our Priority Services Register - if you, or someone you know, would benefit from additional support in a power cut.
You can find more information on our power cuts page relating to the support we offer as well as useful videos that can give
you advice on preparing for and dealing with a power cut.
