Priority Services Register

Would you be at risk during a power cut?  Your Distribution Network Operator, Western Power Distribution (WPD) is responsible for maintaining the substations and power lines that bring electricity to your home. They are separate from your electricity supplier. They have a free Priority Services Register for people who:

 

  • are dependent on electricity for home medical equipment, mobility equipment or to keep medicines cold

  • are elderly

  • are disabled

  • have special communication needs

  • would be vulnerable or require assistance during a prolonged power cut

 

People on WPD's Priority Services Register get advanced notice of any planned interruptions to their electricity supply - allowing the householder to make any necessary preparations. They also get prioritised for reconnection if there is a power cut.
