Why the power goes out in East Dunbartonshire
East Dunbartonshire is the suburban belt north of Glasgow, covering Bearsden, Milngavie and Kirkintilloch. SP Energy Networks operates the entire area. Campsie Fells in the north, the Forth and Clyde Canal corridor in the south, and dense suburban housing in between.
Weather and terrain. Sheltered from the worst Atlantic storms by the Campsie Fells; freezing rain on the M80 corridor causes occasional overhead-line damage.
How the network is run. SP Energy Networks operates from a Glasgow North depot covering East Dunbartonshire. The bulk of the network is suburban underground cabling.
A local quirk worth knowing. Bearsden and Milngavie sit on Roman Antonine Wall heritage land — any underground cable work near the wall requires Historic Environment Scotland sign-off, which can slow restoration.
What to do when the power goes out at home in East Dunbartonshire
Check whether neighbours are affected
Look at the street lights and the houses opposite. If they're on, your fault is inside your home — check the consumer unit. If they're out too, it is a SP Energy Networks network fault: call 105.
Dial 105 or 0800 092 9290
Have your full postcode ready. Ask the operator for an estimated time of restoration (ETR) and a fault reference number — both make any later compensation claim faster.
Unplug sensitive electronics
Unplug TVs, routers, computers and consoles to protect them from a surge when supply returns. Leave one light switched on so you'll know visually when the power is back.
Log start and end times
A cut over 24 hours in normal weather entitles you to £75 from SP Energy Networks under Ofgem's Guaranteed Standards. Severe weather has higher thresholds and a £2,000 cap. Keep a written log with photos — most payments arrive automatically within 10 working days.

SP Energy Networks announces planned cuts by letter (and increasingly text or email) 2 to 8 days in advance. Most run 8am to 6pm and last 2 to 8 hours. Planned cuts do not qualify for Ofgem compensation unless your DNO failed to give adequate notice (a £40 payment applies then).
