EDF Energy Networks
EDF Energy Networks look after the electricity network in London,
the South East and East of England and are responsible for all the
overhead lines, underground cables and substations. So, if you have
a power cut, they're the people to contact to get the power back
on. They know how difficult it is for anybody during a power cut,
but recognise how especially worrying it must be if you are reliant
on electricity for medical equipment, or have other special needs.
Therefore they operate a Priority Services Register for those who
are particularly vulnerable. If you think you need to be on the
register please fill in the form on the EDF Energy website.
