Important work being carried out at our Weston Substation Important work is being carried out at our Weston substation to help make the electricity supply through the substation more secure and reliable.While the work is underway, there will be a heightened risk of an unplanned power outage for properties supplied from our Weston substation.
The likelihood of the power going out is still low and we have contingency plans in place, but if an outage does occur, essential services will be prioritised, and restoring power across the wider area may take longer.
This is not a planned power outage notice, but we wanted to give you a heads-up so you know what could happen and can be prepared, just in case.
Check the orange area on the map to see if this includes your property.
 Work begins Monday 9th November, and we expect it to be completed by Friday 27 November 2026.If you have any questions please feel free to get in touch - 0800 440 220.
And if you do experience an unplanned outage please get in touch and let our team know. We will still be carrying out our normal network maintenance work, or it could be due to another factor - 0800 440 220.
