🌧️ Storm Éowyn is forecast to bring strong winds to the South West, South Wales and the Midlands over the next few days. 🌧️ ⚡ The electricity network is built to be resilient, but extreme weather can impact power supplies. We will be working around the clock to restore supplies quickly if severe weather causes disruption, with extra teams on standby. 📱 Call us on 105 if you have a power cut and we’ll do all we can to get the lights back on as quickly as possible. You can also sign-up to our free Priority Services Register if you need extra help and support during a power cut. ⚠️ If you see any damage to our equipment, please stay back, don’t touch it and instead report it to us by calling 105. 💻 You can find out more information about local power cuts in South Wales, the South West and Midlands at powercuts.nationalgrid.co.uk…
