Planned power outage on campus

Posted on 30 November 2022

On 6 and 7 December, there will be a planned power outage for approximately 4-6 hours in Market Square and Wentworth College Sub-Stations.

As part of our ongoing statutory safety compliance we are required to carry out some essential testing to our electrical systems. To operate with continued resilience and reliability this safety compliance testing must take place. Unfortunately the work will cause some disruption to the power supply in some areas on campus.

Between specific hours there will be no electricity, heating and hot water available. This includes kitchens, bathrooms and other shared areas. Cold water supplies will remain unaffected meaning toilets/cold taps etc will work as normal.
