It’s a pleasure to meet you

We love England. That’s why we’ve been lighting and heating English homes since 1948. Our journey as a company is almost as old as the chalk cliffs themselves and, formerly known as The Southern Electricity Board, we’ve survived a fast-paced market place and achieved some fantastic results in the process.

We’re part of the Scottish and Southern Energy Group (SSE)

Scottish and Southern Energy is a FTSE 100 company and one of the largest integrated electricity and gas companies in the UK.  Incorporating the supply businesses of Scottish Hydro, Southern Electric, SWALEC, Airtricity and Atlantic we supply over 9 million customers throughout Scotland, England, Wales and Ireland.  A full service energy provider, we have more than 50 years experience in the generation, transmission, distribution and supply of energy.

If it’s important to you it’s important to us

It won’t be a surprise to hear that as well as getting the best energy deals, our customers want to know they’re with a supplier that can give them exceptional service when they need it. And that they’re with a company driven by doing the right thing. That’s why we’re committed to holding onto our long standing position as the UK’s best for customer service^* and the country’s largest generator of renewable electricity^**. If it’s good for you and good for the environment there’s no doubt that that’s good for us.

Supporting local communities

We really enjoy supporting our local communities and our carefully selected sponsorship programme is one way for us to do that.  Many of our sponsorships aim to foster local sporting talent and increase participation in your community events.  Along with our sister companies we support community rugby, cricket, golf, shinty and sailing.

p.s. Oh - and it doesn’t stop there.  We’re not just about energy and our customers are saving in other ways too.  Each and every one of them are entitled to  exclusive customer discounts in our online electrical store and on the other services we provide – like home phone, broadband and new boilers!

^{* Scottish and Southern Energy has been voted the UK’s Overall Best Energy Supplier, Best for Customer Service and Best Value for Money in the 2006, 2007,2008 and 2009 uSwitch satisfaction reports.
