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.
