The University has 22 sub-stations and plans to replace four them over the next two months to ensure ongoing reliability and resilience.
To minimise disruption, generators will be used while each sub-station is switched over. A second backup generator will also be available to ensure power is maintained.
The interruptions will be for a maximum of one hour while the buildings’ power supply is safely switched to the generator and then when the buildings are reconnected to the mains electricity supply. During this interruption, there will be no electricity supplied to the building.
Each sub-station serves several areas of campus. Please see the full list of details and interruption times below:
5 South, 4 South Annexe, the Astro Pitches and carpark lighting
- Tuesday, 5 November: 7am - 8am
- Wednesday, 6 November: 6pm - 7pm
