Strong winds can bring down trees and send objects flying into power lines. This can cause power cuts, increase fire risk and is a safety hazard.
If it’s windy, keep up-to-date with weather warnings and secure large objects like trampolines and outdoor furniture.
If the power does go out unexpectedly, as your local lines company, we’ll be working as quickly and safely as possible to restore power.
Always keep 10 metres clear of fallen power lines and damaged equipment and treat them as live at all times.
