No Standing Charge

Standing Charge or No Standing Charge – it’s your choice
 
Some gas and electricity suppliers insist on you paying standing charges. ScottishPower can free you from them.
 
Our No Standing Charge* (NSC) option lets you take your energy supply on the following basis:
  • No daily service charge applied to fuel charges
  • Fuel is charged solely on the basis of unit rates
Here’s how it works:

Electricity Standard single rate meters

No daily service charge is applied to your energy charges. Instead, you’ll pay a higher rate for the first 225kWh used each quarter, then a lower rate for any other energy you use.

Electricity Multiple rate meters e.g. White Meter, Economy 7 etc

No daily service charge is applied to your energy charges. Instead, you’ll pay a higher rate for the first 225kWh used during the day each quarter, then lower rates for any other energy you use during the day. A separate unit rate will apply to the units you use at night.

Gas

No daily service charge is applied to your energy charges. Instead, you’ll pay a higher rate for the first 1143kWh used each quarter, then a lower rate for any other energy you use.

* NSC is available to ScottishPower, Manweb and Union Energy customers, as well as some Prepayment Electricity customers.
