Should Scottish Power change their name when the Spanish company takes over?

  • I hear it's changing to Mucho Cheapo Lecco & Gasso.

    Of course, that might just be a scurrilous rumour.

    Means "business as usual"

    Any price changes will be notified well ina dvance, and since the whole energy market is heavily regulated, you should not be over concerned about price changes, as they know everyone will just change.

    I believe new name is Iberdrola, but a takeover is 6 months away,
    only at bidding stage currently.

    Not unless you're a customer and a shareholder.

    Your only option is to change supplier.
