I'm sorry to hear that you had power supply issues over the weekend.

 

First, confirm that there was no power cut by calling 105. If there was no power cut, check your fuse box. If you're unsure or see a problem, contact an electrician for help.

 

If the power loss isn’t due to a power cut or a fuse box issue, it might be a problem with your meter. In that case, we would need to arrange an emergency meter replacement. Since our phone lines are closed over the weekend, please check the article below for more information on how to arrange this.

Firstly, have you checked that it isn't a problem with your consumer unit? Are all the circuit breakers switched on, including the main one?

 

What is showing on the screen of your electricity meter? If you press one of the buttons on the meter does the display light up?

 

If you are able to post a picture of your meter that might help us.

Perhaps try 03301759669 if you’re off supply. It’s supposed to be available until 5pm

That's a prepayment meter, I think. It's asking for a top up code.

 

If you Google "Vend Code" you'll get information on how to top it up.

I've done a bit more research and found a previous thread about this.

If you are on a prepayment tariff you just need to add credit to the meter.

If you're on a credit tariff your meter shouldn't be asking for a vend code so something has gone wrong. I think the social media team from OVO are available at the weekend so try contacting them on Facebook or Twitter.
