UK Power Networks keep the lights on for more than eight million properties across London, the South East and the East of England. We invest £600million a year to upgrade and maintain the underground cables and overhead lines that deliver electricity to the schools, hospitals, homes and businesses that we serve. When undertaking work to improve and maintain the network it is occasionally necessary to carry out a planned power cut to enable us to work safely.
We have a planned power cut due to be carried out in the Hartlip, Newington and Upchurch ward on Monday 15th July, which will affect some residents on Chaffes Lane and Holywell Lane. This planned power cut will not affect all residents and all those that will be affected will have been contacted directly.

Please note that in some cases the planned date may have to be rearranged. If that is the case, the affected customers will be notified.
Our customer support team contact affected residents with a letter 12 days and 5 days prior to the power cut and follow up with a voice message/text messages 9 days and 24 hours prior to a planned power cut. They provide information on how to prepare for the power cut, what to do when the power returns and further useful information including support available for residents that may need power for medical equipment/medical conditions.
