Storm Arwen: Up your game, Ofgem tells energy firms
Power firms have been told to improve their Storm response after Storm Arwen left More Than one million homes in the UK without power Last Year , a report by the energy regulator has said.
The Storm brought severe wind, rain and snow across north-east England, Cumbria and Scotland at The End of November .
as The Storm lashed the UK with winds of More Than 90mph.
Ofgem boss Jonathan Brearley told power firms to " up your game" and " get ready for winter".
Speaking to BBC Radio 4 's Today programme, He Said companies needed to maintain and invest in power networks better, communicate better with customers about outages and be more imaginative about how they get people back on supply.
The Storm - which saw nearly 4,000 people in England and Scotland cut off from supply for More Than a week - caused widespread damage, with high winds snapping or uprooting trees that fell onto overhead lines.
Mr Brearley said while network companies faced " challenging conditions" following The Storm , it was " unacceptable" that almost 4,000 homes were off power for over a week, often without accurate information as to when power would be restored".
" Network companies need to do better, not just to prevent power disruptions, but to ensure that when power is off, they work smarter to get people back on power quicker, and keep customers informed with accurate and timely information. This is the very least customers should be able to expect.
" The frequency of Extreme Weather events is only set to increase so it is really important that industry, and those involved more widely, learn from Storm Arwen to better respond in future. "
In its, Ofgem issued 20 recommendations to improve services for customers.
It said three network operators - Northern Powergrid , Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks and Electricity North West - have paid nearly £30m in compensation to affected customers after Storm Arwen and have agreed to pay another £10. 3m in " redress payments".
Business and Energy Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng said it was clear thousands of customers had been badly let down by electricity network companies.
He Said a new action plan would ensure better preparedness for future Storms .
published in February criticised the response of the electricity firms as " unacceptable" at times.
It said waiting times to contact operators were too high and criticised the length of power cuts.
