As wind speeds continue to rise, we’d like to remind customers to remain safe and be prepared for the possibility of power outages.

Our first priority will be to attend faults which present a danger to public safety, before looking to prioritise safely restoring power to the largest affected areas. In some cases we cannot start our restoration until the wind speed reduces to allow crews to safely work at height.

We'll then work on fixing smaller faults and restoring power to any individual properties that might still be without power.

We appreciate your patience and will keep our outages page updated with the latest information on faults impacting more than 10 customers.

Please remember to:

• Treat all lines as live and do not approach these but contact our emergency line 0800 248 148 to report the problem
• Let your electricity retailer know if you experience a power cut.
• Track your outage to ensure it is shown on our outages page.
• Follow your emergency response plan and if medically dependent, contact your health practitioner if an outage puts you at risk of harm.
• Call 111 if anyone is in danger or if there’s a serious risk to property.
