Scottish Power [edited]

Saga

Can any SP customers confirm that the supplier has not offered any electricity-only fixed tariffs for some months now, only "flexible" ones? I'd like to make sure I hadn't missed anything as SP ensure you have to instead hunt around a little just to find their current SVT details when they present "Your Quotes" for available tariffs.

Yes Scottish Power. Apologies.

I’ve not had anything other than a flexi fix since march offered.

The Scottish Power 'Flexi' fixes are fixed for the most important part - the actual unit prices. What they aren't fixed for is essentially the parts that make up the standing charge and that aren't controlled by Scottish power. I wouldn't personally let this put me off if you think the costs per kWh are ones you want to sign up to.

Yes 87% is fixed. I'd 'fixed' at the start of August and was curious to see what SP was now offering after the last week's October price cap announcement. The only tariff now offered is scary, and no mention of the SVT:

Standing Charge	36.48p per day
Unit rate	80.107p per kWh

Ouch! Sounds like you're on a better tariff though thankfully.

Do you use something other than electricity for heating?
