What is a Contingency Power Plan For?
For many businesses, the cost of going offline, even temporarily, far outweighs the investment in a robust backup strategy. Creating a contingency power plan involves more than simply securing a generator; it’s about preparing your organisation for sustained performance during outages of any length.
A well-thought-out plan provides reliable backup for essential equipment, prevents loss of productivity, and mitigates risks to both staff safety and business assets.
It ensures that critical systems, data, and services are not compromised, allowing for a seamless transition to backup power and continuity in daily operations. From assessing power needs to ensuring the right infrastructure is in place, a contingency plan allows you to meet demands, manage risks, and keep business running smoothly, even in uncertain times.

Why Contingency Plans Matter
No two organisations face the same power-cut challenges. Whether you need to support critical systems or power an entire facility, having a tailored emergency power plan – reactive or in-house – is essential.
There is more to consider than simply resolving an immediate power outage. A well-planned backup power strategy supports:
- Compliance and insurance: In many industries, having reliable backup power in place is a legal or contractual requirement.
- Business continuity: A structured plan helps prevent service disruption, protects revenue, and keeps customers confident.
- Operational and asset protection: Power loss can result in spoiled stock, security vulnerabilities, reputational damage, or, in healthcare settings, serious risk to life. A contingency plan provides the time and control needed to respond effectively.
- Peace of mind: Knowing your organisation can continue operating allows you to stay focused on core priorities when it matters most.
How To Prepare For A Power Outage
To ensure effective business continuity during power outages:
Make sure your power outage plan is clearly understood by staff in operational roles, so everyone knows what to do if an outage occurs.
Identify and prioritise critical systems such as medical equipment, data servers, and security infrastructure that require continuous power.
Install on-site generators and UPS systems where needed to maintain uninterrupted power supply (UPS).
Regularly test and maintain backup power equipment to ensure reliable performance during critical situations.
Carry out necessary checks and upgrades to existing infrastructure, including power quality analysis, to ensure systems restart smoothly after an outage.
Ensure adequate fuel supplies are available for generators and routinely monitor fuel levels as part of your contingency planning.
While these steps form a strong foundation, every organisation has unique requirements.
