Our guide to Scottish Power
Scottish Power started life as Clyde Valley Electrical Power Company in 1901. They have shifted their focus to leading the charge in developing wind power with heavy investment in renewable energy solutions. Scottish Power domestic green tariffs are backed by 100% green electricity. They're not greenish, they're truly green. This means that they generate the electricity on their UK wind farms.
They are also heavily involved in charity work having raised more than £30 million for Cancer Research UK between 2012 and 2021. This is just a milestone; however, they have doubled down on their commitment to Cancer Research UK.
Scottish Power offer domestic tariffs to suit every household. They also have business energy deals for both smaller businesses and larger corporate organisations.
Scottish Power now offer specialist electric vehicle charging installation and tariffs to both homes and businesses.
