Uncover Your Electric Distribution Company: A Guide To Powering Your Home

Electricity distribution network operators are responsible for delivering electricity to homes and businesses using smaller power lines and cables. You can find out who your electricity distribution network operator is by entering your postcode on a specific website.

Electricity distribution network operators deliver power to homes and businesses

Electricity distribution network operators take electricity and deliver it to homes and businesses using smaller power lines and cables. Transmission networks are like motorways, moving lots of electricity quickly over long distances.

Some homes and businesses are connected to independent distribution networks. An Independent Distribution Network Operator (IDNO) takes care of a smaller part of the electricity network. Regular network operators manage most of it, but an IDNO focuses on specific areas, ensuring that electricity flows smoothly in those particular places.

Electricity distributors are different from electric suppliers. Distributors deliver your actual energy, while suppliers sell you your electricity.

If you live in England, Scotland or Wales, you can call 105 for free to be connected to your distribution network operator. If you're in Northern Ireland, call 03457 643643.
