The PSR

What is the Priority Services Register?

The Priority Services Register (PSR) is our free service to provide extra communications to households who may particularly struggle without their electricity, gas or water supply during planned work or in an emergency.

By joining the Priority Services Register, we can let you know in advance if we ever need to interrupt your supply to carry out maintenance. We would also make every effort to keep you informed in the event of an unplanned interruption. 

With your permission, we’ll share your information with your gas and electricity supplier so they can also provide you with priority services. You may also be able to receive extra support from your water company by contacting them directly, if that’s not us.  

Eligibility

You can register for the PSR if you or someone in your household

You can also join the Priority Services Register if you might only need extra support for a short time, such as if you’re pregnant or recovering from an operation.

We may still be able to offer you extra help even if your situation isn’t listed above. Please check our online application form or contact us to discuss your needs.

Data protection

How we’ll use your data to provide you with priority support

When you register for the Priority Services Register, we’ll keep all the information you’ve given us confidential. 

To provide you with priority support in an emergency or power cut, we may need to pass your details to a selection of third parties working on our behalf. This could include engineering teams and emergency services. 

We’ll never use your personal information for marketing purposes. 

With your consent, we can pass your details on to your energy supplier and your electricity and gas network operators (if that’s not us) who may also offer priority services that you can benefit from. 

You can find more information about how we use your data in our Privacy Policy.
