Scottish Power Energy Summary
‘The Big Six’ regularly raises prices, which is something all their future customers should be aware of before switching.
The range of fuels and energy sources used is worth weighing up. There’s far less reliance on nuclear and oil than many others (EDF in particular way above average amounts of nuclear energy), and more reliance on renewable sources and natural gas. You can find out more about ScottishPower’s fuel mix and renewable power stations and wind farms if you’re interested in where your energy could come from.
Pros:
- Fuel mix uses more renewable than average, particularly from wind farms.
- The help section is very informative and detailed.
- Tariff fixed for 2 years for domestic customers, 3 years for business energy customers.
- Option of buying your energy upfront.
Cons:
- The PowerUp prepayment scheme is quite complicated and the savings are difficult to compare.
- No smart meters until next summer, which is slower than some of their rivals.
- There are not as many tariff choices as their rivals (just 3 fixed available).
