How can Priority Services help you?
When you join, you’ll receive a personalised Power Cut Plan designed around your needs that accounts for your disability and communication preferences.
We'll provide advance notice of planned power cuts or bad weather, so you can prepare and feel more in control. This also gives you time to charge essential medical and mobility equipment, making sure vital devices are fully powered before any disruption.

If a power cut is going to make things difficult, this advance notice could mean you’ll have time to relocate or switch to mobility aids that don’t rely on electricity. And we offer extra reassurance with our password service, so you always know it’s a genuine SSEN team member if we need to visit.
