Northern Powerlessgrid

The real picture of those suffering without power for a week without accurate information from Northern Power Grid.

[Northern Powerlessgrid @northpowergr1d]

@Northpowergrid @Sclemm You missed their actual question @Northpowergrid - or perhaps deliberately ignored it because you don't want to answer the question about the poor quality of your network just three years after Storm Arwen left people without power for nearly two week?

[Northern Powerlessgrid @northpowergr1d]

@Northpowergrid Why is your website down and why can't we get through on your phone line if you're handling it so great?

[Northern Powerlessgrid @northpowergr1d]

Another storm and yet again, rural communities in Northumberland cut off.

@Northpowergrid website down, on hold on their emergency phone line for over 40 minutes -- no answers and no power.

They learned nothing from Storm Arwen.

@SueScott32 @Northpowergrid If this is the case then this is ridiculous - the nation and media are watching you @Northpowergrid - and expect honest comms. @BBCNews @SkyNews @itvnews @Channel4News

[Susan Scott @SueScott32]

@Northpowergrid I think you’re being slightly economical with the truth. My daughter in Stanley, County Durham has still not had her power restored after 12 days without and she has two young children aged four and seven.

[Anne @AnneShirewater]

@Northpowergrid - we reported a live cable outside our front door 11 days ago - a tree surgeon confirmed it’s live. What do we need to do to make it sound any more urgent?! Oh and still no power.

[Vanessa Linnett @vclinnett]

@Northpowergrid Still no power and the workmen seem to have gone home from the field nearby. So much for being fixed by 10pm today. Can we have some honesty from Northern Powergrid. Even the food van has gone.

[Josey @Josey68352828]

@Northpowergrid want to say a massive thank you to all the team at NPower, especially Jackie. We have been without power for 11 days and are now on via a generator …… we are forever grateful! Xx 💕

[Mark Henderson @MarkGHenderson]

@Northpowergrid Make that 351, our power went off again this afternoon…..

[Northern Powerlessgrid @northpowergr1d]

@vclinnett @Northpowergrid @ofgem Where abouts are you Vanessa?

[Northern Powerlessgrid @northpowergr1d]

Is there anyone out there who is or knows of someone who is still without power from the 26th November? @Northpowergrid @ofgem #stormarwen #stormbarra

[Northern Powerlessgrid @northpowergr1d]

@rosseaston @la_berrylicious @energynetworks @BBCr4today @Northpowergrid To be fair Ross, some of the lessons should already have been learned - the @Northpowergrid website was clearly unable to scale to handle the burst in traffic - that is a scenario that could and should have easily been prepared for.

[Holly Bowman @la_berrylicious]

@rosseaston of @energynetworks just spoke on @BBCr4today saying @Northpowergrid comms were the best they could be. Having experienced the absolute vacuum of info AND the disinformation, I hope you reconsider your position Ross!! #stormarwen cc @northpowergr1d

[Jo Lonsdale @jo_lonsdale]

Bravo 👏 to these brave guys from @Northpowergrid and @Ameyplc out right now in storm Barra trying to restore power to the few hundred still cut off. Plenty of them on the ground as I drove round north Northumberland today. Conditions are atrocious.

[Esther Haughie @HaughieEsther]

@Northpowergrid We have not generator, no updates either when power is back on

[Doddington Dairy @doddingtondairy]

Can you help @annietrev, are you able to let us know when we might get power at Doddington please? Is there any help for businesses in Northumberland without power on? #day11 @Northpowergrid

[Angry Enraged @AngryEnraged]

@Northpowergrid Could we please have an update on those properties that were due to be reconnected last night, and are now showing as "under review"

[AnnaWilliams /TheAmbler @AnnaAtTheAmbler]

@doddingtondairy @Northpowergrid Unbelievable! I’d suggest they need to look at their resilience planning a bit harder!

[Radium @radium2021]

@Northpowergrid @KwasiKwarteng @beisgovuk @energynetworks Still no power this morning since the 26th. Power cut checker says im fixed... yet its not. Shambles right now.
