Compare SSE tariffs
Now part of the OVO group, SSE provides gas and electricity to millions of homes across the UK. Here’s everything you need to know, including what it has to offer and how its tariffs compare to other energy providers…
Cheap SSE tariffs
SSE prices are generally in-line with the other so called ‘big six’ energy providers. That said, you’ll likely find cheaper deals elsewhere – especially from smaller suppliers such as Octopus Energy and Bulb.
You can choose from dual fuel, gas-only and electricity-only tariffs. To keep your outgoings as low as possible, look out for online exclusive offers from SSE, or opt for one of its dual-fuel energy deals.
You see, dual-fuel tariffs are often cheaper than going for a gas or electricity-only plan, and it’s always more convenient having just one bill to pay at the end of the month.

It’s important to remember, however, this doesn’t mean your bill will be the same each month – the size of the bill will depend on how much energy you actually use.
SSE’s fixed-price energy tariffs are: SSE Online smart saver, SSE 1 Year Fix tariff v4 and SSE 2 Year Fix V6 tariff.

What happens if my energy supplier goes bust?
It is very rare for an energy supplier to go out of business, but it happened in 2016, with the collapse of GB Energy.
As happened then, any future collapse and its consequences would be managed 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.
All UK energy suppliers are regulated by Ofgem.
In addition to guaranteeing continuity of supply, Ofgem works to move customers of a failed company to the best possible deal, with any debit/credit transferred to a new supplier that is chosen to inherit the business.
