Free help during a power cut
Did you know you might be able to get extra help in a power cut?
National Grid Electricity Distribution (formerly Western Power Distribution) runs a Priority Services
Register to help customers who are very ill, have a disability, or rely on power for medical
equipment.
If you join their FREE Priority Services Register, they can:
-
Provide a dedicated and direct number you can call during a power cut to get straight
-
through to someone who can help
-
Agree on a password with you before National Grid visits, so you know you can trust the
-
person at the door
-
Provide special help through trusted partners such as British Red Cross if you need it
-
Keep you up-to-date on any planned interruptions to your power supply
-
Stay in touch with you during an unplanned power cut, including advice on how long it will last
