    SSE on-line demand calculator

    Just for general info, I happened across this on-line tool this morning: https://www.ssen.co.uk/our-services/tools-and-maps/demand-calculator/ Seems a handy way to estimate a property's peak demand and what the DNO might have assumed for overall network demand after diversity.

    Contact Details for SSE networks

    I have been on hold for 45 minutes waiting to speak with someone in SSE Networks. All I want to find out is whether PME is available at a property I am going to do a CU change on next week. I am sure a lot of companies are using the pandemic as an excuse for crap customer service. Does anyone...

    Ampy 5258K electric meter fault and SSE

    I have a couple of questions about electricity meters, as supplied by SSE. Mine has a fault. The display is often blank and the meter continues to record power being used even when turned off at the main circuit breaker on the consumer unit. I videoed it. That to me is 100% proof the meter is...

    SSE Temporary Seals

    Does anyone know if SSE still provide temporary seals for CU changes, and if so where I can get some from / what their procedure is? I've found links to SSE information on threads in this forum and others, but none of the links seem to work anymore. Thanks

    SSE charging for FiT burden?

    Hi all, Has anyone come across this? End client receives a notification from SSE that they are starting to "recover costs" of FiT payments by showing a separate line on bills reflecting a fixed rate of £0.243/kWh. Is this simply their way of splitting out/demonstrating their costs in...

    SSE Electricity supply work i seen

    Heres a picture i took on my phone at the beggining of this year on a job, what does everyone think? Their orange cables supply three flats and a common close meter. We took one week to install metal trunking for these to run along up the stairs, to prevent damage or tampering :disappointed:

    SSE Delayed Payment

    Hadn't received my payment cheque so rang SSE to see if it was in hand. Was told Na! They have changed their payment dates because their computers couldn't handle the FIT change to 45p. Got to submit new reading by 5th June to get paid a month later. Would have been nice to have been told. I...

    SSE tricking potential customers

    SSE has lost an appeal into a conviction for tricking potential customers into switching from their existing energy firm. SSE's sales agents had used misleading sales scripts when talking to people on their doorsteps, between September 2008 and July 2009. SSE said it was "disappointed" with...
