Scottish and Southern Electricity Network is setting up a Priority Services Register to allow them to help, respond and prioritise electric supplies to homes who:
- Are dependent on electricity for home medical care, for example, a kidney dialysis machine or ventilator
- Have a chronic illness or short term medical condition, for example, you are recovering from a major operation
- Are disabled
- Have special communications needs, for example, because you are blind, partially sighted, dead or hard of hearing
- Have children under 5
- Are over 60 years old
What they aim to offer is:
- A dedicated 24 hour priority services phone number
- Priority updates during a power cut
- Nominate someone for us to contact on your behalf
- Provide information in the format you need, for example, Braille or audio CD
- A security password to keep you safe
