Power of Attorney and Dealing with Utilities

I understand about dealing with banks in relation to Power of Attorney but can find nothing on the internet regarding dealing with utility companies. Please can anyone tell me whether and how, as power of attorney, I need to set up the donor's utility accounts so that I can operate them?
With thanks.

    Like banks I am presuming that most utility companies will need you to register your LPA with them.

    Since there is a lack of information on the internet I suggest you telephone and ask the procedure.
