How to save money on your energy

Due to rising costs, many providers have removed their deals from the market, so we're unable to switch you right now
Spiralling energy costs have forced many suppliers to remove their tariffs
What this means for you:
• We probably can’t save you any money right now because there aren't enough tariffs to compare
• We hope we can help you save in the future – but we don’t know when that’ll be
• If you go direct to energy suppliers’ websites you might find better deals
We believe in always doing the right thing for our customers – which is why we’d rather tell you now, so you don’t waste time quoting if we probably can’t help you.
With its roots dating all the way back to 1901, Scottish Power is one of Britain's 'large legacy suppliers' (previously known as the 'big six'). Over five million UK households and businesses use Scottish Power for gas, electricity or both.
Scottish Power’s fixed tariffs supply 100% renewable, zero carbon energy produced by wind farms in the UK. The company also boosts its ethical credentials by supporting Cancer Research UK.
Scottish Power offers a choice of tariffs, including variable rate and fixed-rate tariffs with terms of 12 months or 24 months. Each tariff is available either as dual fuel (gas and electricity) or for gas or electricity only.
There are online-only tariffs offering lower rates, as well as tariffs that trigger a donation from Scottish Power to Cancer Research UK. Exit fees are applicable to some tariffs.
It’s always a good idea to shop around and compare energy prices before choosing an energy supplier. Scottish Power is one of the UK's largest enegy companies - some customers prefer to go with a smaller supplier based either on price or customer service.
Use a comparison website like GoCompare to check whether Scottish Power is the right supplier for you.
Remember to check whether the tariff you choose has exit fees. This means you might have to pay a set amount to Scottish Power if you want to switch to a new supplier before the contract ends.
Once your initial plan comes to an end, Scottish Power will automatically move you to a different tariff, probably the standard variable rate.
A Citizens Advice survey rates Scottish Power 13 out of 20 suppliers for service, scoring an average of 2.6 out of five across all areas. They scored five stars for switching and clearer bills, but only one for complaints.
But things can change over time, so you might want to check the most recent customer reviews before you commit to a long contract with Scottish Power.
Scottish Power supports Cancer Research UK, and has raised more than £35m for the charity since 2012 through donations and fundraising.[2]
Switching energy suppliers is easy. Gas and electricity come through the same pipes and wires, whoever provides it - all that changes is the company sending you a bill.
Don't just assume you'll get the best deal with Scottish Power. Compare prices and shop around to make sure you get a tariff and price that fits your circumstances and energy use.
Switching is a relatively simple process, with three main steps:
Scottish Power will make all the necessary arrangements with your current supplier. The switching process usually takes around 17 days to complete.
