Looks like a repo, the bills not been paid so DNO and energy provider have taken measures to put new supply in externally. Either so they can gain access to their prepayment meter, of the supply has been disconnected and it has been recently reinstated
The tails to the CU may have been disconnected due to fault in the wiring of the house. If it were me I would inspect and test the wiring before attempting to connect them.
Definitely get the house hard wiring inspected and tested before having those tails connected.
If it was a bad/unpaid debt you have to ask yourself why? Was the previous owner on the fiddle with the meter? If it was on the fiddle there is a chance they may have altered the wiring somewhere to 'enhance' some heating equipment in their 'plant room' upstairs.
We still haven't found out whether you were made aware of the lack of power leading up to the sale, I'd say this could potentially be part of the conveyancing process and taken up with the solicitors.

If/when you switch from the key meter to a standard meter, resist any attempts by the electricity supplier to make you have one of those so-called Smart meters. you do not have to have one.

Whilst this is true, having just researched the market as my 1yr fixed tarriff ends at the end of the month, I find that the cheapest tarriffs, by some £250pa, are conditional on my having smart meters installed.
