Flood alert
Warrington is currently affected by flooding in many parts of the borough.
The latest advice, guidance and information can be found on our Flood Alert – January 2021 page, which is being regularly updated.
National lockdown: please stay at home
Warrington is subject to the current national lockdown restrictions - please stay at home. For more more information about what this means, visit our coronavirus web pages.
In the event of a power cut anywhere in Warrington, please contact Scottish Power Energy Networks on 0800 001 5400 or call the national power cut operator on 105.
You can also check if they already know about a problem by searching your postcode on their website.
Scottish Power Energy Networks are responsible for maintaining the electricity network and restoring the supply as quickly as possible should a fault occur. Sometimes they will need to switch off your electricity supply for essential repairs and maintenance of the network, but they aim to write to you with at least five days notice if this is the case.
There is some helpful advice and guidance on the SP Energy Networks website about what to do if your power goes out, including how to check your trip switches and fuses.
It's useful to keep the following items to hand in case of a power cut:
If you are disabled, have a chronic illness, rely on medical equipment, or you have other needs which may mean you are vulnerable during a power cut, you can ask to be included on Scottish Power Energy Network’s priority service register by contacting 0330 10 10 444 or by completing a priority services registration form.
This doesn't necessarily mean your power will be restored more quickly, but SP Energy Networks will try to be proactive and contact you if they know about a problem in your area.
