Questions
All FAQs →What is 105?
105 is the free, 24/7 number to report or get information about a power cut in England, Scotland and Wales. It works from any landline or mobile and connects you to the network operator for the area you are calling from. It does not work in Northern Ireland, where you call NIE Networks on 03457 643 643, or in the Channel Islands and Isle of Man, which have their own providers.
What is the difference between my network operator and my energy supplier?
Your supplier (British Gas, Octopus, EDF and so on) sells you electricity and sends the bill. The network operator, also called the distribution network operator or DNO, owns the cables and substations and is the company that fixes a power cut. You cannot choose your network operator – it depends on where you live – so always report a power cut to the operator, not your supplier.
How do I check if there is a power cut in my area?
Type your postcode in the search box, or tap the location button. The page for your postcode district shows the current status, a confidence score, every report from the last 24 hours and your network operator's number and live map. Full postcodes such as SW1A 1AA work too – the page covers the whole district.
How do I report a power cut?
First check whether your neighbours are affected and whether your fuse box (consumer unit) has tripped. Then call 105 – network operators restore power based on customer reports. Also tap “Power is out” on your postcode page so neighbours know, and “Power is back” when it returns.
Power just gone off?
