Your network operator

Your network operator looks after the power lines in your area. Its own map shows cuts near you and when it expects the power back.

Where the cuts are

No live figures from SP Energy Networks, Electricity North West or NIE Networks: their areas look clear on this map even when they have cuts. Use their own maps above.

Each dot is a cut, placed to within about a kilometre. Central and southern Scotland, North West England, Merseyside, Cheshire, North Wales and Northern Ireland aren't shown: their operators don't publish an open live feed.

Figures are at least these: some feeds leave out the smallest cuts, and we only count cuts each operator marks as live. Planned work is not included.

Where these figures come from

Every source on the site, with the credits each asks for: our data sources.

UK Power Networks live data. Contains data from UK Power Networks, licensed under CC BY 4.0. This feed leaves out cuts affecting five homes or fewer.
National Grid Electricity Distribution live data. Supported by NGED Open Data. We count homes the operator has confirmed are off; its estimates are left out.
Northern Powergrid live data. Supported by Northern Powergrid Open Data. We count confirmed homes off in cuts the operator marks as in progress, so the real figure may be higher.
SSEN Distribution live data. Contains data from SSEN Distribution, licensed under CC BY 4.0. Planned work and jobs merged into another job are left out.
