Sussex is one of the worst areas in the country for power cuts.
The south-east suffered more power blackouts than any other region in the UK in 2011, according to the latest reports.
Eaton Power’s latest Blackout Tracker report measures information on power cuts from newspapers, websites and personal accounts to analyse the impact of power outages in the UK.
The latest figures show that the south-east experienced more than 20% of the total number of power outages in the UK in 2011. This is an increase from 2010, when it was also the worst affected region but accounted for 16% of the total number of outages in the UK.
According to the research, power outages can cost businesses between £12,676 and £316,900.
