Our verdict

ScottishPower suits households in Great Britain who want electricity and gas from a single supplier, and its reference annual cost of £1,663 puts it near the top of the price table. The trade-off is the exit fee of £50, which is higher than most of the suppliers it is measured against.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Electricity and gas both come from ScottishPower, per electricity and gas, so a dual fuel account can sit with a single supplier.
  • Tariffs cover fixed, variable, tracker, electric vehicle and green plans, per fixed, variable and tracker, a wider list than the fixed, time of use and ev range at Endesa.
  • The renewable share stands at 100%, so buyers shopping for green supply have a clear reason to look here.
  • Support runs on chat, phone and email, covering chat, phone and email, so most questions have a route that fits.

Cons

  • Leaving early costs £50, which places ScottishPower at position 22 of 29 on exit fees.
  • Supply is limited to GB, a single market, so households living elsewhere need a different supplier.
  • The tariff list of fixed, variable and tracker has no dynamic option, while Powerpeers includes one in dynamic, fixed and variable.

Who it suits

  • Households in Great Britain who want electricity and gas from a single supplier and prefer one bill to two.
  • Drivers who charge at home and want an electric vehicle tariff, per fixed, variable and tracker, alongside fixed and green options.
  • Shoppers who care where their electricity comes from, since the renewable share is listed at 100%.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Households that may move mid term, because leaving early costs £50, so compare that figure with the fixed tariffs listed for Electricity Ratings and Endesa.
  • Buyers who want hourly or dynamic pricing, since Powerpeers lists a dynamic tariff in dynamic, fixed and variable and the ScottishPower list of fixed, variable and tracker does not include it.
  • Anyone who needs a time-of-use or prepay tariff, since Electricity Ratings lists both in fixed, ev and time of use and ScottishPower's fixed, variable and tracker does not.

Where it sits among rivals

The tables pull in opposite directions for ScottishPower. On annual cost it sits at position 4 of 4, which places it in the strongest group on price. On exit fee it drops to position 22 of 29, well down the list. Read the annual figure first if you plan to stay put, and read the exit fee first if there is any chance of moving early.

Pricing

ScottishPower's reference annual cost is £1,663 a year, worked out on typical household usage. That is the figure to weigh when a term starts and again when it renews, because it rolls the unit rate and the standing charge into a single number rather than splitting them apart. On the other side of the ledger sits the ScottishPower exit fee of £50, which comes into play if a fixed tariff ends early. Read both lines together, since a low annual figure only pays off if you stay for the term.

Who runs it

ScottishPower is supplied by Scottish Power Limited, registered in the United Kingdom and trading since 1990. Support runs on chat, phone and email, so help is available by chat, by phone and by email, and every listed route is remote. A trading history of this length matters whenever a supply is being moved, because you are committing a term and a bill to the company behind the name. A named legal entity also makes it easier to check who you are dealing with before you switch.

Frequently asked questions

What does ScottishPower cost a year?+

The reference annual cost for ScottishPower is £1,663 a year, worked out on typical household usage. That is the figure to compare against other suppliers, since it folds the unit rate and the standing charge together rather than listing them separately. Always compare like for like, because assumptions about usage change the result.

Is there a fee for leaving ScottishPower early?+

Yes, the ScottishPower exit fee is £50. That charge applies if you end a fixed tariff before its term finishes, so factor it into any plan that depends on you staying put for a while. If a move looks likely, weigh that figure against what you would pay elsewhere before you sign up.

Which countries does ScottishPower supply?+

ScottishPower supplies GB, and the parent company is headquartered in the United Kingdom. In practice that coverage is Great Britain, so a household outside that market needs a different supplier for its fuel. If you are outside it, the other suppliers listed alongside this one are where to start comparing.

Can I get both gas and electricity from ScottishPower?+

ScottishPower lists both electricity and gas, per electricity and gas. A dual fuel account keeps meter readings, billing and support in the same place, which is simpler to run than two separate suppliers. Both fuels sit within the tariff types listed in fixed, variable and tracker, so a fixed deal can cover gas and electricity together.

What kinds of tariff does ScottishPower offer?+

The ScottishPower list covers fixed, variable, tracker, electric vehicle and green plans, per fixed, variable and tracker. A fixed tariff holds its price for a set term, a variable one moves with the market, and a tracker follows the underlying rate directly. An electric vehicle plan is the one to look at if you charge at home.

Is the electricity renewable?+

The renewable share for ScottishPower is 100%, which places it at the top of the scale for green supply. That figure sits alongside a green tariff in fixed, variable and tracker, so you can take a renewable option without leaving the supplier. Buyers who care about the source of their electricity can use the share as a filter.

How do I contact ScottishPower?+

Support runs on chat, phone and email, so chat, phone and email are all listed for questions about bills, tariffs and meter readings. There is no branch counter in that list, which is worth knowing if you prefer face-to-face help. Online and phone support means most issues can be sorted without a visit.

Who supplies ScottishPower and how long have they traded?+

The supplier is Scottish Power Limited, which has traded since 1990 and is headquartered in the United Kingdom. A long trading record matters for an energy account because you are committing to a term and a bill with the company behind the brand. It is the kind of background to check before switching.
