Our standards of service
Electricity and gas
As a licensee under Ofgem for both the transportation/distribution of electricity/gas, we must comply with a set of standard conditions for each licensable activity. These standards guarantee a level of service we are reasonably expected to deliver in all cases.
If we regrettably fail to meet the required level of service, you may be entitled to automatic or claimable compensation.

We have introduced additional, enhanced standards as part of our commitment to giving you the best possible service. If we fail to meet these standards, you are entitled to an automatic or claimable compensation payment.
