FAQs
Help and advice
What should I do during a power cut?
Whether you’ve had a sudden power cut at home or if you want to know how to prepare, read our power cut guide to find out what to do in a power cut.
I need extra help to stay safe and well in a power cut. Can you help?
We know it’s harder for some people to be without electricity, for example, if you have a health condition or young children. If you’ve not already joined our Priority Services Register, please get in touch with our team.
I rely on electricity to power medical equipment. What do I do?
If you rely on electricity to power equipment such as a feeding pump or nebuliser, it’s important you have a contingency care plan in place with your medical professional. If you’re not sure of your plan, please speak with your carer or doctor.
I have to keep medication in my fridge. What do I do in a power cut?
Power cuts are usually short and a closed fridge will stay cold for up to four hours. Keeping your fridge closed during the power cut will help preserve your medication.
Can I claim compensation for the power cut?
If you’re without electricity for more than 12 hours, you’re entitled to a payment in line with our Guaranteed Standards of Service. You can find full details in our Code of Practice.
