Is Southern Electric the same as SSE??? (Scottish Southern Energy?)

tinkerbelle

Yep that is correct. Scottish & Southern Energy consists of Southern Electric & Scottish Hydro plus they have a few other brands.

Vestra

SWALEC & Atlantic too.

I read on teletext this week that SSE are anticipating a price cut at the beginning of 2009, so if it was going to be 1st January, that would be really good.

I think they said early 2009 which in energy company speak probably means after the winter/high usage months.

This what SSE actually said.

"‘If wholesale prices for electricity and gas maintain a downward trend, SSE is optimistic that it will be able to deliver reduction in prices for domestic customers during the early part of 2009."

Southern Electric door knockers have targeted my street.
Pushing gas ,electric AND telephone. They didn't mention to my elderly neighbour that he may have to pay BT for phone re-connection charges if it didn't work out, or that he may be better orf on BT Basic anyway.

I *know* I'm going to get accused of knocking them again :eek: , but I wonder what an ethical company like Ebico think about hooking up with a company that has people like this working for them?

why would you have to pay re-connection charges for changing your provider? I have never heard of this before.

Pink..if you cease Talk Talk or Tiscali phone/broadband and go back to BT you pay a re-connection charge.£125 something.
Perhaps not the same set up but guessing so.
