They will also contact you ahead of any planned outages, advising of the planned length of time that you may be affected in supply to allow you enough time to make other arrangements.

This service is of particular benefit for people who rely on medical equipment such as oxygen concentrators, home dialysis machines and vital signs monitoring equipment.

(It also checks bereavement grant eligibility.)
