Compensation

Power cuts are rare but unfortunately they can still happen. As soon as possible after being made aware of a power cut we arrange for our engineers to attend to start repairs, 24 hours a day and 365 days a year. For certain scenarios we offer payments for customers affected by a power cut.

Once we have restored your power, we'll proactively contact all customers who are eligible for a payment so there is no need for you to contact us about this.

However, if you have a safety issue to report, need to tell us about a vulnerable customer or would like updates on an ongoing power cut, please call us on 105. This line is open 24 hours a day.
