Why is my electricity gone off?
If your electricity cut out when you turned on a light switch or electrical appliance, this strongly suggests that your fuses have tripped. When fuse boxes detect a problem, such as an unusual power surge, residual current devices (RCDs) ‘trip’ and cut off the power supply to the rest of the house.
Why are so many power outages?
“The simplest explanation is that supply and demand got out of balance. The demand is quite high because of heating, and the supply is constrained by failures in the system and because of the weather.” Weather-related power outages happen in other places, and that isn’t unusual.

What if there is a power outage?
A power outage will most likely interrupt your home’s heating and cooling if you don’t have a backup generator. If it’s cold, dress in layers and use extra blankets. If it’s dangerously hot, either run a battery-powered fan or drive somewhere cool, like a library. Many homeowners have questions when a power outage hits.
