SSEN compensation following Storm Arwen - SSEN "...announced that we [SSEN] are voluntarily increasing statutory compensation payments by 20%, recognising the exceptional impact of Storm Arwen. Compensation payments will be calculated following Ofgem's Guaranteed Standards plus SSEN enhancement:
Customers who were without power for 48 hours will receive £70.
Those who were without electricity for longer than 48 hours will receive an additional £70 for each 12-hour period that they did not have power.
SSEN will enhance the total amount by 20% and will issue the payments to customers automatically.
You do not need to contact us [SSSEN] to receive this compensation.
Both the standard and additional compensation payments will be made automatically, where possible, as soon as data verification is complete. Payments will be issued before Christmas to as many customers as SSEN can process, with those without power the longest given priority.
Claims process for accommodation and food costs: As a priority, and separate to automatic compensation payments, we are also processing reimbursement to customers for reasonable hotel accommodation and food expenses. Affected customers are asked to submit claims to Storm.Payments@ssen.co.uk, including all receipts."
