An energy company has thanked “honest” customers who did not try to cash compensation cheques for trillions of pounds sent out in error.
Compensation is being paid to tens of thousands of people who were left without power when severe “once in a generation” winds swept across the UK in November last year during Storm Arwen.
Northern Powergrid admitted on Sunday it did not mean to send out cheques for trillion-pound sums to 74 customers in the north of England, with some customers receiving more than £2.3tn.
The energy firm blamed a clerical error in which the customers’ energy meter numbers were used instead of the amount payable.
