If your complaint relates to:

An electricity supply issue to your home or business

Please contact your local distribution network operator (DNO). Find them here on the Energy Networks Association website. These companies own and operate the system of cables and towers that bring electricity to your homes and businesses.

Issues with payment meters, electricity tariffs, or your electricity bill

Please contact your electricity supplier. Their details should be on the back of your electricity bill. In the event of a power cut to your property please call 105.

What to do in a power cut

If you’re experiencing a power cut, you should call 105. Do not call your electricity supplier. Electricity suppliers sell consumers energy and are not responsible for power lines. Calling 105 is free.
