All tariffs currently available for Londoners

Like most supplier, Scottish Power encourage their customers to sign up to a duel fuel tariff. Why is this? Well, dual fuel is often a lot more economical, as suppliers tend to offer deals if you streamline both your gas and electricity. As well as this, it's just a lot simpler.

Despite its increasing popularity, and clear benefits, some households still opt for separate gas and electricity plans, even sometimes from separate suppliers. In London, 14.74% households opt for electric central heating systems, compared to 80.63% for gas and just for oil. However, Scottish Power has a number of dual fuel plans, as can be far more convenient to keep all your costs in one place with one plan.
