As a vulnerable person the service for notifications of supply disruption is excellent.
However,the supply can be off for only a few moments and then disruption occurs with household equipment. More of a problem when not a home. FYI

I registered to receive up dates

I registered to receive up dates , after my last power cut. I received informative replies and was sent a detailed break down on what was the initial problem to fix . This provided reassurance that the out standing power failure was being given priority and peace of mind. I was really impressed with the handling and regular updates. Excellent

Temporary loss of Power

They kept me well informed about the temporary power cut, estimating the time power would return and texting to say that repairs had been carried out and power should be back on within the estimated time frame. There was a link in case power had not returned. Very satisfied.

Underground cable damaged

Had problem with electric supply due to external damage to underground cabling. When company was contacted, they spent time explaining the problem that had happened and the time frame that they expected the repair to be completed. They completed well within time frame but also sent text messages to inform about the ongoing issues. Extremely helpful throughout.

My experience with UK Power Networks…

My experience with UK Power Networks has been ' amazing'.

We had a prolonged power cut. They kept me informed exceedingly well at each step and development.

They even generously compensated for the hassle we'd been through.

Well done...keep it up!

Power Outage

I was notified of a power outage at 11:18am on the 24th July by text message. UK power Networks assured me that the necessary steps were being taken to quickly restore power. Not sure how long power was down for, maybe about 30 minutes and power was already back up at the time of reading the text message. Only inconvenience was that the electric clock on the mantlepiece had to be reset.

This organisation was prompt

This organisation was prompt, efficient and thorough. A piece of equipment had blown up, but their engineers wasted no time in dealing with the matter. More importantly, they were excellent in keeping us fully informed and updated throughout their operations.

You're never happy when you have a power outage, but we were kept fully informed of the reason and updated when it was expected to be restored. Very satisfied with the way things were handled.

Very helpful

After a very short power cut UK power networks were in touch by text extremely quickly to explain what happened and where, being on the priority list due to health problems they were very helpful and checking if power had been restored, overall for such a short power cut they were outstanding in everything they did. Very impressed
