Fuel Mix Information

What does it mean?

The fuel mix information details how the electricity we supply you with has been generated in the previous year from each fuel source - such as coal, natural gas, renewable and nuclear energy - and compares ScottishPower’s fuel mix with the average for Great Britain. If you are on our Simply Green tariff, we match the amount of electricity you use with an equivalent supply of renewable energy from wind generation into the electricity grid.

What is it for?

The information on our fuel sources and their environmental impact is designed to help you make an informed choice about your energy supplier. Similar information will be published by suppliers across Europe, in much the same way as emission levels are quoted for new cars.

Will your fuel mix stay the same or change?

Our fuel mix will change each year depending on our generation portfolio and station production. We are the UK’s leading windfarm developer, so more energy will be supplied from renewable sources in future as further windfarms are built.
