Scottish Power, capped tarrif.

gasmaneng2003

I am with Scottish Gas and supposedly on their capped until 2014 tarrif, yet I have just recieved an e-mail from them, telling me that my gas prices are going to rise from December. I really don't understand how they can say that I am still protected under the capped tarrif but still increase my gas charges, just doesn't make sense, ( not to me anyway ).:(

Is capped diffrent to fixed?

What company are you with Scottish Power or Scottish Gas?

yes capped is different to fixed, all capped does is make sure the price doesn't rise above a certain level. As Scottish gas reduced their gas prices earlier this year and are now increasing their prices you are seeing this movement back up to your capped level.

I am also with southern Electric for both Gas and Electricity,which I think is part of Scottish Power, is this true? I switched to M&S Tarrif instead of Southern Electric, and was told that I am not affected by the increase, does this sound right?

No, Southern Electric is part of the SSE (Scottish and Southern Energy) which is nothing to do with Scottish Power.

M&S is linked to SSE they do a fixed tariff as well as a standard one, if you switched to the fixed tariff then no it will not increase.
