Get Extra Support During Power Cuts

Published: 27 October 2016

Scottish & Southern Electricity who look after the wires and cables that bring electricity to our area recognise that there are certain people for whom a power cut is particularly distressing and difficult. They will therefore offer extra help and support to those who need it most. You may be eligible if:

• You are deaf or hard of hearing
• You are chronically ill
• You are disabled
• You rely on powered medical equipment
• You have a baby under 12 months
• You are blind or partially sighted
• You receive a state pension

Of course, everyone has different needs so feel free to contact SSE to discuss your requirements.
