Power company to boost storm payouts

[Jimbuna]

Big bloody deal!!....these companies are making hundreds of millions in annual profits yet still had the audacity just a month ago to up their prices by on average 10%

One of Britain's biggest power distributors says it will increase compensation payments to customers who lost power in the Christmas Eve storm.

UK Power Networks - which says 1,000 homes in Kent, Surrey and Sussex are still cut off - will increase payments for 48-60 hour outages from £27 to £75 for those affected on Christmas Day.
