Scottish Power Customers: You're Losing Money
Scottish Power SEG Rate:
Best Available Rate (Octopus):
You're earning 67% less than you could be. For a typical 4kW solar system exporting 1,500kWh per year, that's a difference of £240 annually.
Can I Switch SEG Supplier in Scotland?
Yes! Your SEG supplier is completely independent from your electricity supplier.
Many Scottish homeowners don't realize that you can keep Scottish Power (or any supplier) for your electricity supply while using a completely different company for your solar exports. This is a common misconception that costs Scottish solar owners hundreds of pounds per year.
All major SEG tariffs — including Octopus Energy's market-leading 24p/kWh rate — are available throughout Scotland, from the Central Belt to the Highlands and Islands.

Why Are Scottish Power's SEG Rates So Low?
Scottish Power offers one of the lowest SEG rates in the UK at just 8p/kWh. This is likely because many customers don't realize they can switch to a better rate. Unlike competitive markets where suppliers must compete on price, SEG export rates often go unnoticed by homeowners who assume their electricity supplier automatically gives them the best deal.
The good news: switching takes about 5 minutes online, costs nothing, and you keep your current electricity supplier. There's literally no downside.
