If you’re on a standard variable tariff or your fixed tariff has comes to an end, switching your energy supplier is usually free. However, it’s always worth checking the terms of your existing tariff, as some energy supplier’s will charge an exit fee if you leave a fixed deal early. Under Ofgem rules, suppliers can’t charge an exit fee if you switch within the final seven weeks of your fixed contract. At ScottishPower, you have the freedom to switch between our tariffs at any time without paying exit fees.
