Which? response to Scottish Power price hike

Alex Neill, Which? Managing Director of Home Products and Services, said:

“This price hike is a kick in the teeth for hard-pressed energy customers, who sadly won’t be surprised at another big price rise from another big energy company .

“ We would urge all Scottish Power customers not to just accept this rise, they should compare and switch now as they could potentially save up to £398 a year.”
