Making you our priority

At Northern Powergrid we understand that all our customers are individuals with unique needs. We understand that power cuts can cause a worry, particularly if you, or someone you care for, needs the power on for medical reasons, are elderly, sick or disabled or have trouble communicating. You may have young children to look after at home. Whatever the reason, we have developed tailored services and guidance to ensure you get the support you need. As a Priority Services Customer, our Priority Services Membership team will make sure you receive extra help and peace of mind if there is a power cut.

We'll contact you to let you know the time your power is likely to be back on and of any help we may be able to provide. We do this regardless of the time of day or night by text message, if we have a mobile phone number for you, or by calling you, if we only have a landline number for you.

If you'd like to receive text messages from us, so that we don't need to call you during the night, please let us know your mobile phone number either by calling our dedicated Priority Services Membership team on 0800 169 2996 or by emailing us.

British Sign Language translations are available here.  You can also talk to us using British Sign Language through our InterpretersLive! service.

We work with a number of partners so they can help us promote our Priority Services Membership and offer advice on keeping warm, staying safe and keeping your bills down.

Priority Services for you

Becoming a Priority Services Member means we’re able to give you a direct-dial number (0800 169 2996) to speak with our Priority Services team whenever you need us. We can also get in touch the best way for you (i.e. telephone, email or text) and talk to you about your individual needs, such as our ‘knock and wait’ service if you need a little more time to get to the door.

Members may also be able to access additional services and benefits, such as regular updates to keep you as informed as possible; a home visit from our partner, the British Red Cross, to provide one-to-one support and assistance; hot meals and/or drinks provision; phone charging facilities and alternative accommodation, if staying at home is unsafe.

Medically dependent

The chance of a power cut can be particularly worrying if you need electricity for medical equipment or for keeping medicines cold in the fridge.  

If you - or someone you know - relies on electricity for medical reasons find out more below in our Priority Services Information. You can view our Priority Services Membership Information booklet, check out our videos and access our Code of Practice leaflet and Statement of Priority Services Arrangements.
