What types of energy tariffs does ScottishPower offer?
-
-
Cap Tracker
The Cap Tracker tariff tracks the Ofgem energy price cap. As of August 2025 the Cap Tracker tariff is £7.50 cheaper per fuel per year than its Standard Variable tariff. It also has no exit fees.
-
Fixed
ScottishPower offers several fixed energy tariffs to lock in your energy rate and protecting you from future price rises. There is a £50 per fuel exit fee if you switch suppliers before the end of the contract.
-
Power Saver
This tariff rewards customers with a communicating smart meter by offering half‑price electricity on weekends between 11am and 4pm. The discount is applied as a credit on the bill for energy used during that time.
ScottishPower dual fuel tariffs
ScottishPower can power your home with both gas and electricity. If you take the same tariff and payment method on both fuels, you can manage them through a single account – also called a dual fuel account.
This means that you will receive a single bill for both fuels rather than a separate one for each.
ScottishPower tariffs for existing customers
It’s simple to switch to a different tariff if you’re an existing ScottishPower customer. Just log into your online account and look for a link to ‘change your tariff’.
This will give you a selection of alternative tariffs online with ScottishPower. If you see a deal you like, you can follow the link to activate it.
You won’t face any exit fees if you choose to move to a new ScottishPower tariff, or if you move home.

Our expert says…
Will fixing my rate save me money?
It's worth thinking ahead and bearing in mind that a fixed rate energy deal could save you money during the coming months. Switching to a fixed rate energy tariff can protect you from future energy price volatility and save you hundreds of pounds over the course of the year.
More and more energy providers are releasing tariffs for new customers, so run a comparison and see if you could switch and save money on your energy bills.

What happens if my energy supplier goes bust?
Due to the energy crisis in recent years, a number of energy suppliers have gone out of business.
Fortunately, the impact on customers is cushioned by Ofgem, the energy market regulator. Thanks to Ofgem’s safety net, even if your supplier goes out of business, your gas and/or electricity supply will never be cut off or interrupted.
Ofgem will then arrange to transfer affected customers to the best possible deal, and work with the new firm to transfer any existing debit/credit balances or debt repayments.
Once the transfer is completed, customers are free to switch to another deal with a new supplier, if they wish to do so.
All UK energy suppliers are regulated by Ofgem.
What do I need to do if I want to change my current provider?
Changing your energy provider has never been easier. It only takes minutes to run an energy comparison on our site, and you could be up and running with your new supplier within 15 days.
