What is the Smart Export Guarantee?

The Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) is a new scheme which encourages people who generate surplus renewable energy to get paid for electricity they export back to the National Grid.

Energy efficiency and smart meters

Up to date data: Communicating smart meters can provide near real-time data on your energy use through an In-Home Display (IHD). You can decide how often you want data to be sent back to us. This allows you to see how much energy you’re using and the cost, helping you identify appliances or habits that are using more energy than you expected. Ene...

What is the ScottishPower Hardship Fund?

Because some customers have difficulties paying their bills due to low income or other circumstances, ScottishPower has a Hardship Fund to help them get their energy payments under control. The Fund can help by clearing or reducing arrears by crediting a customer’s ScottishPower energy account.

What support is available if I’m struggling to pay my energy bill?

The high cost of living is affecting many of our customers and we want you to know we’re here to help. If you’re struggling to pay your energy bill, we recommend you contact us as soon as possible. We’ll then do everything in our power to help you manage your energy debt and avoid it building up.

What is Direct Debit?

With Direct Debit, we spread the cost of your energy evenly across the year. This means that you may build up a credit balance over the summer months. It is a good idea to leave this balance on your account to pay for the extra energy you’ll use during the winter.

If you wish to request a refund, this may mean we need to recalculate your monthly payment amount. Please log in to your online account  and provide us with up-to-date meter readings and we’ll check if your account is eligible for a refund. If you require a refund, please chat to us.

What is a planned emergency power cut?

We have no control over the scheduling of emergency power cuts, but we are still focused on supporting our customers. Crucially, we need to ensure that all vulnerable customers are on our Priority Services Register (PSR). We share our PSR with the Distribution Network Operator to help them manage customers in emergency situations. However, it’s important to be aware that being on the PSR does not mean that you will not be disconnected....

What payment methods do ScottishPower offer?

We’re here to help you manage your energy payments and outstanding balances. If you’re struggling, get in touch - we’ll try to find a solution together. However, if there is an outstanding balance on your account and we can’t reach you, we may have to take extra steps such as passing your details to a Debt Collection Agency, fitting a Pay As You Go meter if suitable or, if you have a smart meter, changing the operating mode to Pay As You Go. We may also register a payment default against you with credit reference agencies, which could impact your ability to obtain credit. When taking these steps we’ll always take into consideration your individual circumstances.

Late payment or additional actions may incur...
