How to report a power cut in Nottinghamshire
- Check your fuseboard. If neighbours still have power, a tripped switch in your own home is the most likely cause.
- Check the map above. If your area is listed, the network operator already knows and the estimated restore time is shown.
- Ring 105 if nothing is listed. It is free, open 24/7, and puts you through to the network operator for your postcode. Your energy supplier cannot fix power cuts.
- Fallen line? Keep well away, ring 105 straight away, and ring 999 if anyone is in danger.
Power cuts in Nottinghamshire on our map come from Northern Powergrid and National Grid.
Compensation, the Priority Services Register and what to do while you wait are covered in our UK power cut guide.
Keeping the power on in Nottinghamshire during a power cut
Standard solar panels switch off when the grid goes down. A battery with a backup (EPS) function keeps lights, the fridge, Wi-Fi and heating controls running through a power cut, then tops itself up from the panels. See how it works in our battery storage guide, or compare solar panel installers in Nottinghamshire.
