SSE was previously one of the Big Six energy suppliers (along with British Gas, npower, ScottishPower, E.ON and EDF) until it was acquired by OVO Energy in 2019.

Following the announcement of the acquisition, it’s expected that around 3.5 million households could see their electricity and gas supplies moved from SSE to OVO. SSE has agreed to migrate all it’s domestic customers over to its new parent company, though business energy is still supplied by SSE themselves.

Since SSE and it’s associated brands are now trading names of OVO Energy, its registered business address is now as follows:

OVO Energy

1 Rivergate

Temple Quay

Bristol

B21 6ED

Cancellation policies vary by tariff types. Some of SSE’s fixed tariffs include exit fees that you’ll need to pay before you can cancel the contract and switch to another supplier. The most popular of SSE’s tariffs that includes an exit fee is its ‘Fix and COntrol’ 2-year fixed-rate tariff. 

However, the standard 2-year and 1-year fixed tariff can be cancelled without incurring an exit fee, as can SSE’s standard variable-rate tariff. You’ll need to provide notice of cancellation no less than 30 days before the date you wish the contract to end; you can do so in writing by letter or email.

SSE’s fuel mix for 2018/19 was predominantly made up of natural gas — 67% vs the UK average of 41%. 

While it’s made good progress on its inclusion of renewable energy, it still falls short of the 33% UK average.
