Still With Scottish Power?
You're Probably Overpaying.
Scottish Power is one of the UK's "Big Six" energy suppliers. But being big doesn't mean being cheap. Families who switch through SaveFirst save an average of £52/month — completely free.
Why Families Are Leaving Scottish Power
Scottish Power, owned by Spanish energy giant Iberdrola, is one of the UK's original Big Six suppliers. Their standard variable tariff consistently sits at the Ofgem price cap, meaning you're paying the maximum regulated rate if you haven't actively switched.
Here's what's happening right now:
- Scottish Power's standard tariff charges the maximum Ofgem price cap rate — you're paying top price
- Customer complaints are among the highest of the Big Six — Ofgem has fined them multiple times
- Their online account system is notoriously difficult to navigate and prone to billing errors
- Fixed deals often come with exit fees that discourage switching even when cheaper options exist

Common Questions About Switching From Scottish Power
No. Scottish Power is one of the Big Six suppliers and their standard variable tariff typically sits at the Ofgem price cap — the maximum allowed rate. Most households can save £300–700 per year by switching. A free SaveFirst audit shows you exactly how much.
With SaveFirst, you don't have to do anything. Send us your current Scottish Power bill (a photo on WhatsApp is fine), and we handle the entire switch — no phone calls, no cancellation forms, no paperwork. Your supply is never interrupted.
It depends on your tariff. If you're on a fixed deal, there may be exit fees. However, the savings from switching often outweigh any exit fee within the first month or two. We'll factor this into your savings report so you can make an informed decision.
Yes, completely free. We're paid by the provider when you switch — you never pay us anything. If we can't save you money, nobody pays anything and you stay exactly where you are.
The Bottom Line
Scottish Power isn't the worst energy company — but they're certainly not the cheapest. Every month on their standard tariff is money straight out of your pocket.
A free SaveFirst audit takes 2 minutes and costs nothing. If we can't save you money, you stay with Scottish Power and nothing changes. If we can — and for most families we save £52/month or more — you keep every penny.
There's literally no downside. The only risk is waiting another month.
