Turn your electric off, make £££!!!

No, no court involvement whatsoever, they work directly for the council/HA who instruct them in this instance. I've shown you how it works, at least in Scotland, I don't know what bit you aren't getting.

But sheriffs are used rarely for this anyway. It is all done in house,

As i said previously you are digressing from what the initial discussion was about as in what power companies can do to enter your premises to take or force fit a meter and concentrating on what a small part of the uk with different laws from the rest of the country does in some rented properties. I have given links to say it is illegal in england /wales but even your own link doesnt make it clear what they do to progress the forced entry if the hand delivered or registered letter is not acknowledged, but they are not forcing entry to disconnect the gas but to actually service the appliance.

You brought up bailiffs attending. I was pointing out that is not always required.

for power companies to force fit which the discussion was about yes they are and to make it clear what the warrant involves it is one time entry they can only go to where the meter is they cannot wander about the house . And as my comments were about gas they are not allowed to look for appliance to purge them which is why force fit warrants are in the main a complete waste of time in the winter months as its illegal to leave people without heat without their permission .
