Regulator Ofgem has launched an \u201curgent\u201d review into the response of energy network companies to Storm Arwen which has left some people without power for a week. A \u00a3700 cap on compensation has also been lifted, allowing those affected to claim \u00a370 for each 12-hour period they are left without power, after an initial \u00a370 for the first 48 hours.<\/p>\n
The Army has been deployed to help residents in Scotland and England who have been off supply for a week since the storm on Friday November 26 caused \u201ccatastrophic damage\u201d to the electricity network. Ofgem said that around 10,500 people are still without power in some parts of Scotland and the North of England.<\/p>\n
