See every day →From our record of every cut UK Power Networks publishes, read every 10 minutes and counted by the day each cut started; last counted Fri 13 Nov, 11:35. These are minimums. One fault can affect many streets, so this is how often cuts happen in the area, not how often one home loses power.
