Yes, but even they can only claim for demonstrable financial loss. Claims for 'compensation' are just what they say!DNOs cannot legally claim anything other than the direct cost of the repairs despite there being hidden costs for loss of supply to other customers. However these other customers can and have claimed compensation themselves!
