Synopsis

Your electricity network owes you £95 for that power cut. It is not going to ring you about it.

Not a goodwill gesture. Not if you complain loudly enough. A regulated obligation, in a fixed amount, that exists whether or not you ever find out.

The same is true when your water goes off. When a sewer floods your ground floor. When the broadband dies for a week. When an engineer takes your morning off work and never turns up.

Almost nobody in Britain claims any of it. Not because they are careless, but because the payment comes from a company that does not bill them, has no account for them, and often has no way to send them money.

And it gets worse. If you have already looked this up, you were probably told the wrong number.

Water compensation rose on 2 July 2025. The government called it the first uplift in 25 years and an increase of up to tenfold. So every article, forum post and advice page written before that date now understates what you are owed, often by half.

An internal sewer flooding minimum that was £150 is now £300. Low pressure that was £25 is now up to £250 a year. If you settled for the old figure, you were short-changed with your own consent.

Don't panic. Every figure in this book has a date on it

How to Claim the Money Your Energy Company Legally Owes You is the whole of Britain's regulated compensation system in one place: Ofgem for energy, Ofwat for water, Ofcom for broadband, and the free ombudsman route above all three.

Every amount carries the date it was checked, in a register at the back, because in this subject a number without a date is worse than no number at all.

Inside, you will discover
  • Why the storm outage everybody remembers is worth the most, and is the one nobody claims for
  • Who actually pays, which is not your supplier, and the free number that tells you who it is
  • Every water payment after the 2025 uplift, including three new ones almost nobody knows exist
  • The broadband clock that does not start until you report the fault, and what waiting a weekend costs you
  • The free register most eligible households are not on, and the switch that silently drops you off it
  • The six-line letter that gets paid, and the two sentences that turn an approval into a six-month argument
  • The ombudsman: free, and its decision binds them on your acceptance, not you
  • What you are NOT owed, so you do not make a claim that fails and give up on the whole idea
Two things you are probably getting wrong

You think a storm is nobody's fault, so nobody's liability. The rules disagree. Severe weather steps every 6 hours to a cap of £2,165, against £390 in normal weather. The longest outage you remember is the most valuable claim you never made.

That cheaper tariff quietly cost you the Priority Services Register. Ofgem says you must ask to join the new supplier's register when you switch. Nothing announces it. Every household that moved for a better price and was previously registered is now, silently, not, and will find out during the next outage.

What to do now

Chapter 1 ends with 15 minutes of work that pays for this book several times over, starting with the free register.

Then look back at the last twelve months and count. Scroll up and start reading now.

Skavinger. Preparedness that knows where you live.
