Reporting your Concerns

We are committed to providing you with a high standard of service and a reliable energy supply. However, there may be a time when you are unhappy with our service. In such cases, we will try to resolve the issue quickly to everyone's satisfaction.

Contact us if you have a problem or concern with our service, a query relating to electricity network equipment on your private land or a land-related issue due to electricity network work undertaken on your private land.

Please note there are some exceptions

You are billed for our network line services by your electricity retailer, so if your enquiry relates to invoicing or bill payment you will need to contact your electricity retailer directly.


Contact us

Our customer service representatives can usually take care of your enquiry over the phone but, if your complaint is of a detailed nature, it can be useful to present your complaint to us in writing.

Electricity and Gas Complaints Commission

If we have not resolved your complaint within twenty working days, or forty working days where we have advised you of the reasons for a longer timeframe, then you have the option of contacting the Electricity and Gas Complaints Commission (EGCC). The Commission is an independent body that will facilitate resolution between the electricity company and the consumer if the other means of resolution have failed. Vector is committed to ensuring that we resolve your problem well within the timeframes of the EGCC scheme.
