Err...nope. "UK Power Networks own and maintain electricity cables and
lines across London, South East and East of England."

So as they only cover Anglia & the south-east of England, IMO "UK
Power Networks" is a /complete/ misnomer.


the majority of the population of the area covered...whether that's
nationwide or just London is irrelevant, I can't see how they can have
preferential treatment when almost everyone will be getting it
