Discount and Switching Suppliers
Householders in Shetland have a wide choice of suppliers for single tariff (standard use) electricity. Further information is available from Consumer Focus and you can use energy comparison websites such as www.uswitch.com to compare costs depending on the type of supply your home uses. For combined day/night tariffs, there are also a number of suppliers and it is worth checking what is available to save money on your energy bills.
Discount schemes are also available for Scottish & Southern Energy Customers who receive qualifying benefits.
Measure Your Energy Usage
