Power Outage Pack

Keep the lights on and the phones charged.

Who it’s for: Households preparing for a power cut.

What this pack solves

Storms, grid faults and planned outages regularly leave UK households without electricity for hours — occasionally days.

Why it matters

Without power you lose lighting, heating controls, broadband, and eventually the one device you rely on most: your phone. A small kit removes the panic entirely.

Start with the essentials

Work through the checklist and check what you already own before buying anything.

  • Charged power bank stored in a known place
  • At least one proper torch per adult
  • Spare AA/AAA batteries within date
  • Battery or wind-up radio for updates
  • Your electricity network's 105 number saved
  • Head torch or lantern for the kitchen
Compare kit for the gaps
