But the energy giant cannot install the meters until regulator Ofgem gives permission for the practice to re-start.
A judge has granted Scottish Power warrants to enter homes to forcibly fit prepayment meters after they were temporarily banned following a scandal around the practice.
Among the cases heard by the court on Thursday were several involving multiple attempts by Scottish Power to contact the holders of accounts with outstanding amounts of thousands of pounds. Judge Goozee granted most of the applications, but found that in some cases the requirements of the code of practice had not been met, largely because not enough time had been given to residents to arrange payment of their bill.
Initially, the no-install rule applied to customers aged 85 and over with no other support in their home, or households with residents with severe health issues including terminal illnesses or those with a medical dependency on a warm home.
