Additional support with the Priority Services Register

South East Water, Southern Water and UK Power Networks (as well as other utility companies) hold a Priority Services Register to offer a range of help and services for electricity, gas and water customers who are vulnerable or who need additional long-term or short-term support. Additional help can include priority support and information in the event of water or power disruptions and alerts, plus more. 

Subject to eligibility, you can register for free if you and/or the person you care for:

• are over 65
• have a disability, chronic or long-term illness
• are living with dementia
• have communication needs
• rely on medical equipment in your home
• have refrigerated medicines
• have a child or children under the age of five
• are experiencing life changes such as bereavement, a break-up or job loss
• are recovering from a hospital treatment
• are living independently for the first time

To make it easier, you and/or the person you care for can choose to give consent to share your data to be registered once for additional support without the need to contact several utility companies separately.
