Thanks to one of our residents for alerting us to Scottish and Southern Electricity’s Priority Service scheme.

The SSE website gives the following information:

Who is eligible to join our Priority Services Register?

You can join our Priority Services Register if you:

• Are dependent on electricity for home medical care, for example a kidney dialysis machine or ventilator.
• Have a chronic illness or short term medical condition; for example you are recovering from a major operation.
• Are disabled.
• Have special communication needs; for example because you are blind, partially sighted, deaf or hard of hearing.
• Have children under 5.
• Are over 60 years old.

We recognise some of our customers may need support in other ways during power cuts. If you have other needs and feel you will need extra help in the event of a power cut, please contact us to discuss.
