Scottish Power in Gerrards Cross: Tariffs & contact details

When moving to any city, such as Gerrards Cross, it can be difficult to get your head around all the things that have to be done. But, no need to worry, we have all the information you need.
Like with any big move, there are some steps that you need to complete before leaving your old home. For that reason, we have prepared a moving house checklist so that you won't leave anything behind. So, let's begin:

• 🚨 The most important thing to do before moving house is to take a meter reading so that you are not paying for energy that you haven't used.
• ⛽️ After you have found your meter reading, it's time to sort out your Meter Point Reference Number (MPRN).
• 💰 Once your MPRN is sorted, then you are clear to move without having to worry about paying for energy that you didn't use.

In most cases, you can keep the same supplier when moving house, if you so wish. On our website, we offer a guide on how to manage an energy transfer. However, in this section, we will explain a few factors that can affect whether you will be able to keep your supplier or not. Such factors include:

• 💰 If your new property has a prepayment meter or not
• 🚗 If you have moved far away from your original residence
• 💡 Whether your new property uses gas, electricity, or dual fuel
• 🏡 Whether you have upgraded/downgraded the size of your home.
• 👨‍💻 The estimated energy consumption in your new home

On our website, we offer a comprehensive moving house checklist. However, in this section, we will cover the basics for you. We will discuss who is important to notice that you are moving house.
Here are some of the organisations that you should keep in mind:

1. 👩‍⚖️ Government/local bodies: Once you move in, you'll need to update your address with the DVLA.
2. 🏦 Banks and financial institutions: Make sure that you update your address on your debit and credit cards.
3. 👨‍💼 Insurance providers: To keep your cards from becoming invalid, make sure to update your address on your insurance cards.

You can call your local Buckinghamshire electricity DNO (Distribution Network Operator) or gas distributor in case of emergency, power cuts or issues regarding their grid connection.
One connects the energy production sites to your region and the other one brings it to your home. And, let's be honest: The UK energy market wouldn't run as it does without them.
Build and operate a grid that is capable of carrying high-voltage electricity from any production site to any region without losing too much along the way. Nevertheless, it would be useless without the contribution of the 14 electricity and 8 gas DNOs that move energy from these major hubs to every single house in Buckinghamshire and elsewhere.

If you would like to contact your DNO, their number is:
