Priority Services Register
Did you know that every gas, water and electricity supplier – the companies you pay your bills to, and your electricity distribution network, has what’s called a Priority Services Register (PSR)? This register helps utility companies to make sure they look after those who need it most.
Who can join the PSR?
Households who have:
someone aged 60 or over living at the property
someone under the age of 5 living with them
someone who is living with a chronic medical condition or is registered disabled
any other specific needs such as sight or hearing impairments
If you would like to have access to additional services from your energy supplier, you simply need to sign up to the Priority Services Register through your current supplier. You can also ask your supplier to forward your details to your network operator if you are dependent on a consistent energy supply for medical reasons.
