About SSE
Scottish and Southern Energy was founded in September 1998 as a result of the amalgamation of Scottish Hydro and Southern Electric.
Scottish and Southern Electricity bought the SWALEC energy supply business in August 2000. SWALEC is a Wales-based company, whereas SSE operates in Scotland and England.
In January 2020, SSE Electricity Services (the division of SSE that delivered energy to households across the United Kingdom) joined the OVO family. In total the group supply 5 million homes with their services.

Standard/variable/ default tariff – If you haven’t agreed to a contract (if you have just moved house for example) or your previous deal has expired, you’ll be on this tariff. The costs change depending on wholesale, distribution and taxation costs. There are more cost-effective tariffs available if you compare and switch your energy through a price comparison service like Switch Squid. You will also be affected by the OFGEM Energy Price Cap. See our guide for more information on the Energy Price Cap.
