:mad:I have been on Online fixed dual fuel April 2014 and have just noticed that throughout I have been charged at standard rate since January 2013. The result is they have overcharged me over £80!

I think there is a special email address. Anybody know it, or is the rep still around?

Will there be any impact on Scottish Power Customers in the UK if Scotland becomes independent? I belive they are registered in Glasgow.

Doubt it. It's Spanish-owned, E'on's based in Düsseldorf , the others are French (EDF), or German (npower). It's a totally international market really, and much of it's imported. Why do you expect it to make a difference?

British Gas is (I think) based in Berkshire if you're deperate to consume local power.

Cos are foreign owned, but the actual company is UK registered.I tend to assume that in the event of SI, a separate company would be registered in UK (Remainder) to do business outside Scotland.

Quite probably. Companies doing business across the British Isles also have a separate RoI address.

Just a query really. If they are operating under one set of laws and regulation, then a change may affect prices or service -possibly??

Iberdrola operate in a foreign country now, the United Kingdom. Yes they have a UK license in the name "Scottish Power"*; should devolution happen they will just have to have SP - England and Wales and SP - Scotland. All suppliers, including the 2 UK based big 6 BG and SSE will be similarly affected.


*(which could easily be Spanish Power - edf = Électricite de France etc.)

Scotland, England and Wales and Northern Ireland already have had separate laws and legal systems for quite some time. Doesn't seem to have been much of a problem so far.
