Editorial interest 79/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A postcode-based locator for selected UK power-cut updates, official network reporting routes, and an indicative backup-power runtime estimator.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-05 issue.

For: UK residents checking local outage information
Worth noticing: Three regional network feeds show update times and freshness warnings; the site says blank coverage is not proof that power is on.

Field notes

The page attributes postcode geography to Postcodes.io and lists three regional data sources with update times. It says those feeds are checked every five minutes, while warning that upstream delays and failures can affect freshness. The lookup does not confirm an individual property's supply status, and the site directs users to network operators for reporting.
