Neighbourhood Watch: Substation Watch

Substations
Substations are secure and protected structures where high voltage electricity is distributed from the National Grid, or local supply networks, and transformed down into more manageable voltage levels for homes and businesses. The equipment contained inside the substation is regularly inspected and maintained. They can be found in both local and rural areas displaying yellow warning signs, and are locked and protected for everyone's safety. Only authorised employees and supervised emergency workers are allowed to enter substations. Please stay out of these substations.

Substations are 'Danger Zones' and every year, despite warnings, people are still killed, or seriously injured, after illegally accessing them.

If you see this or anything like it you need to call us on:

We are working in partnership with Neighbourhood Watch to help protect electricity substations from malicious vandalism and unauthorised access so we can make our communities safer.

Neighbourhood Watch needs everyone to be alert. Become a part of your neighbourhood, by joining your Local Neighbourhood Watch.
