Cornwall is on National Grid Electricity Distribution's network (South West England). Dial 105 free from any phone to report a power cut or get an update, or use National Grid's live power cut map. It's the network, not your energy supplier, that fixes cuts.

If your power goes off

Check whether it's just you: look at your fuse box for a tripped switch, and whether neighbours or street lights are off.
Check the list above, then call 105 if your postcode isn't on it.
Keep the fridge and freezer shut. What's safe to eat after a power cut.
Switch off sensitive electronics and anything that could be left on, and leave one light switched on so you know when power's back. Can a power cut damage appliances?
If the cut runs long, the network may owe you compensation. Work out what you're owed.

Get warned before the next big one

We'll email when a storm is named or the grid is under strain, so you can charge phones and power banks first. No spam, unsubscribe any time.
