[Northern Powergrid said 110,000 customers lost power on Friday evening. The company supplies 3.9m homes in the North East as well as Yorkshire and northern Lincolnshire.] [Western Power Distribution (WMD) which supplies the Midlands, the South West and Wales, also said they have a "major incident".] ["We believe this is due to a failure on National Grid's network, which is affecting our customers."] Not good news at all/ Last edited by arista; 09-08-2019 at 05:53 PM. |

That's a bit uncaring and unfunny.

I'd imagine the government would make noise if the Russians hacked the system

People keep telling me its off all over the north east, but mines still on (luckily) so thats fake news!
QE hospital in Gateshead..their ****ing generator is off. So..people are going to die due to negligence. Bloody ridiculous tbh.

Hmm seems only London areas is actually news? As I siaid, much of the north east too. Including a large hospital which have been negligent enough to not maintain their emergency generator..

Could it not be the freak weather? There's just been a massive storm here, shocked to hear about the hospital Vicky! That could be a catastrophe!

I know, its ridiculous, should be first priority surely, having the backup generator bloody working. Fairly sure a large amount of people are going to..well die. Someones getting fired I think..

I'd guess a bigger storm in the wrong place could do some damage to the grid? |
