“What if”…..there is a power cut?

Power companies have launched a new national power cut phone line 105 to help people contact their local electricity network company. Callers dialling the free 105 number will be put straight through to their local electricity network operator, avoiding potential confusion or people contacting the wrong organisation. Using the 105 number, electricity customers will be able to report or get information about power cuts and report damage to electricity power lines and substations.

Do you need extra support during a power cut or know someone who does?

This free of charge service provides support to vulnerable people during a power cut.To find out more information,
