Cheltenham Power Cuts
This page tracks live power cuts affecting Cheltenham postcodes (GL50–GL54), sourced from National Grid Electricity Distribution, the electricity distribution network operator for Gloucestershire, formerly Western Power Distribution. Their Live Power Cuts open dataset updates continuously as incidents are reported, confirmed and restored.
If you’re in a power cut right now, call 105 — the free, national number that connects you to your local electricity network operator, day or night. Call 999 as well if there’s a risk to life, such as damage to power lines or a substation.
When the list below is empty, there’s no current power cut recorded against a Cheltenham postcode. A history of past incidents is kept below, and everything here is also published as an Atom feed.

Power Cuts FAQs
Where Does This Data Come From?
National Grid Electricity Distribution's Live Power Cuts dataset — the electricity distribution network operator for Gloucestershire, formerly Western Power Distribution.
What Should I Do in a Power Cut?
Call 105, the free 24/7 national power cut number, to report it or check for known outages in your area. Call 999 too if there's a risk to life, such as damage to power lines or a substation.
Why Is the List Sometimes Empty?
Most of the time there's no power cut affecting Cheltenham, so the current list and map are empty — that's expected, not a sign the feed has stopped working.
Does This Cover Planned Outages Too?
Yes. Planned maintenance outages are included and marked "(Planned)", alongside unplanned faults.
How Often Does This Update?
The underlying NGED feed updates near real-time; this page and its feed refresh roughly every two hours.
Can I See Past Power Cuts?
Yes — every power cut recorded against a Cheltenham postcode is kept on the incident history page, including once it's been restored.
