Where we get our energy
To enable customers to make an informed choice about their energy supplier, Ofgem, the energy regulator, requires all GB electricity suppliers to tell customers where they get their fuel.
From the fuel mix breakdown given below, you’ll see that ScottishPower uses substantially less nuclear generated electricity than the average GB supplier and more renewable sources of electricity, in line with our green commitment.
