How to check if it is a planned outage or a sudden fault?

Planned outages are announced in advance by TAURON Dystrybucja - you can find them on the operator's outage map (opens in a new tab) ↗ and in the ENERTIA address checker. If there is nothing on the map and there is no power at your place and your neighbours' - it is most likely a sudden grid failure, report it to 991. If the grid is working and it is dark only at your place, go to the section below.

No power only at my place - what to do?

Three steps that show in a minute who is responsible for the fault - so you do not pay for a call-out you are not entitled to, and do not wait for the operator when the problem is in the flat.

Step 1

Check if your neighbours also have no power

If it is dark in the whole area or at many neighbours' places, it is a grid fault or a planned outage. Check the TAURON Dystrybucja outage map or the ENERTIA address checker and report the fault to the toll-free number +48 459 566 991.

Step 2

Check the common areas of the building

If there is no power in the staircase, basement or lift, but the grid in the area is working - report it to the building administrator or manager. This is most often a fault in the internal common installation.

Step 3

Check your unit and call an electrician

If the power has gone out only at your place, a fuse trips or you smell burning - it is a fault in the unit's installation. Call an electrician; an ENERTIA technician sets the price before starting work, and confirms the arrival time during booking.

Questions and answers

No power - frequently asked questions

Which number should I call to report a power outage?

You can report a power outage by calling the free emergency energy service number 991 - it operates 24/7 and automatically connects you with the operator appropriate for your address. In Lower Silesia, this is TAURON Dystrybucja. From a mobile phone or from outside the operator's area, call +48 32 303 0 991 (charges according to the operator's tariff). You can also report a fault via the TAURON Dystrybucja online form.

How to check if it is a planned outage or a sudden fault?

Planned outages are announced in advance by TAURON Dystrybucja - you can see them on the operator's outage map and in the free ENERTIA address checker. If there is nothing on the map, and there is no power at your place and your neighbours', it is most likely a sudden network failure - report it to 991.

There is no power only in my flat - is it a network failure?

Most often not. If your neighbours and the stairwell have power, but you do not, the problem lies in the installation of the commercial unit or flat, or in the protective devices - this is a matter for an electrician, not for the operator. Do not switch on the circuit breaker or the tripping RCD repeatedly: this is a sign of a fault that needs to be found.

After switching on, the circuit breaker or RCD trips - what to do?

Disconnect the device you turned on last and try to reset the protective device once. If it trips again - do not force it. Repeated tripping means a short circuit, overload or damage to the installation; measurement and repair by a qualified electrician is required.

Who pays for fixing the fault - the operator or me?

A network failure before the meter (poles, service connection, transformer) is repaired by TAURON Dystrybucja free of charge. The owner or the housing association is responsible for the installation from the meter into the premises - this is the scope in which an electrician helps. Therefore, we first determine which side of the meter the fault is on.
