To meet the challenges of the future, UK Power Networks is transforming from a Distribution Network Operator (DNO) to a Distribution System Operator (DSO).
Even though power cuts are rare they can, and do, happen for a variety of reasons. For example severe weather conditions or another contractor damaging our underground cables could cause a loss of power.
I’m really proud to let you know about a new telephone number that you can call 24 hours a day if you ever have a power cut. Here at UK Power Networks we’ve been working with other electricity companies across the UK to make sure anyone across England, Scotland or Wales can call it to get through to the right company during a power cut.
Over the last few months we’ve been busy contacting trade associations and accreditation bodies to help raise awareness of the risks when working near electricity. We especially want people to look out for electricity cables that are buried underground and in the walls of buildings.
I joined UK Power Networks when I was 20, following in the footsteps of my Dad and Grandad. I really do enjoy my job, no two days are the same.
