Code of practice on complaints handling procedure

Got a complaint?

We want to know about it, we’re here to help and it’s free of charge.

At your service

As your electricity supplier, Power NI provides you with a wide range of services. These include billing, payment options, moving house, energy services and products as well as general advice.

 We aim to deliver these services to the highest standard and provide a great customer experience, so if we haven’t lived up to your expectations we need to know. 

Our promise to you 

We promise to investigate your complaint fully and provide you with a resolution in a timely manner. We will: 

  • Provide you with an apology
  • Give you a full explanation
  • Take appropriate actions to put things right 
  • Arrange compensation in appropriate circumstances

How to make a complaint

So that we can deal with your complaint, please get in touch. 

Visit our contact us page.

 If you feel that your complaint has not been satisfactorily dealt with, you can ask to have it escalated to a supervisor. 

  • Email us at [email protected] 
  • Contact us online www.powerni.co.uk/contact/ 
  • Write to us – if your preference is to write in or you remain dissatisfied, you can ask for your complaint to be reviewed by our Customer Relations Manager, please write to: Customer Relations Manager Power NI Po Box 2067 Belfast BT1 9PP.

We take every complaint we receive seriously and work with our customers to resolve them quickly and satisfactorily. We will acknowledge complaints within 5 working days and aim to resolve all complaints within 10 working days.

While we will make every effort to resolve your complaint within 3 months, this may not always be possible. For instance, if the complaint is of a particularly complicated or technical nature, you aren’t communicating with us, or there is a third party involved, this may increase the amount of time needed to resolve the complaint.

We take into consideration individuals needs and appropriate steps to resolve the complaint promptly. If we fail to meet any of the commitments outlined in this Code of Practice, you may be entitled to compensation.

Seeking independent advice

If we are unable to resolve your complaint to your satisfaction, or if at any time you are unhappy with our response, you can contact the Consumer Council. This is a free and independent body which has the power to resolve customer disputes. Please note that your rights to proceed with any legal action are not affected should you request a referral to the Consumer Council and remain dissatisfied with the outcome.
