What you need to know
Important information
Already with SSE, SSE Southern Electric, SSE SWALEC or SSE Scottish Hydro?
If you switch to a new tariff on this website, you'll stay with your current SSE brand. We may review your Direct Debit to make sure your payments cover your usage and any debit balance you might have. If we need to change the amount you pay, we'll write to you confirming the new amount.
Green Deal
If you have a Green Deal scheme in place for your home, Green Deal charges will also apply. The estimates included in this application do not include Green Deal charges. We will write to you separately to confirm if a Green Deal charge applies.
What you need to know before you apply
We’ll send your Welcome pack by email. This includes your confirmation of contract, tariff information, terms and conditions and cancellation form.
If we're taking over the supply of energy from another supplier, you agree to your current supplier transferring the right for us to collect any debt you owe them (in the event we're obliged to).
Smart meters
If you sign up to our 2 Year Fix and Control tariff, you agree to have a smart meter installed in your property, if you’re eligible and don’t already have one.
If you sign up to our 1 Year Fix and Drive tariff, you agree to have a compatible (SMETS2) smart meter installed in your property, if you are eligible and don’t already have one. If you have an older smart meter, we’ll need to upgrade your meter so you can benefit from our off-peak rate. We’ll contact you when you’re eligible for your smart meter installation. If we can’t fit a smart meter, we’ll install an Economy 7 meter so you can use our off-peak rate.
If you sign up to one of our other fixed price tariffs, you are registering your interest for a smart meter. This means we may contact you in the future to discuss a smart meter installation as and when you become eligible.
We rely on a mobile phone or wireless signal to get your smart meter readings. If these fail, you’ll either need to take your own reading and send it to us, or your bills will be estimated.
Smart Home Package (with 2 Year Fix and Control)
The Smart Home Package, provided by Google, may not be compatible with all heating systems. Please go to the Nest compatibility checker to see if your heating system is compatible before you sign up.
The Smart Home Package comes with the 2 Year Fix and Control tariff only. This tariff is available to dual fuel only customers who pay by monthly Direct Debit or quarterly billing only.
We’ll send the Smart Home Package to the same address that we supply your energy within 30 working days of your energy application. Someone will need to sign for it.
You can install the Smart Home Package yourself. Simply follow the step-by-step Nest Thermostat E installation video. If you prefer, we can install it for you for £75. To request an installation, call us on 0345 078 6754 after you sign up.
You’ll need a working internet connection and Wi-Fi to benefit from the Smart Home Package, and we also recommend that you have access to a computer, tablet or smartphone.
Drive for free (with 1 Year Fix and Drive)
You need to own or lease an electric vehicle that you charge at home. We may ask you to prove this. If you’re unable to, we’ll take you off this tariff and put you onto our Standard variable tariff.
We’ll credit your account for the cost of the electricity you use during the off-peak times of your meter, up to 2,000kWh over the year. We’ll spread this credit over the year and apply it to each quarterly bill. We’ll confirm your meter’s off-peak times in your Welcome pack.
To reach up to 8,000 miles, we checked the test data for the TESLA Model 3 Standard Range Plus (E1R) with the Vehicle Certification Agency. We multiplied its electric consumption of 4.0 miles per kWh by the up to 2,000kWh of electricity we’ll include over the year. Your mileage will depend on your car and driving conditions.
Direct Debit discount
If you have a fixed price tariff and pay by Direct Debit or standing order, for most fixed tariffs you’ll get a discount of £40 a year for each fuel when compared to other ways of paying. The discount is applied to your standing charge on a pence per day basis, until your tariff ends.
If you have a standard variable tariff, your energy prices are capped and the maximum price you pay (known as a cap) is set by Ofgem, the energy regulator. If you pay by Direct Debit or standing order, your standing charge and unit prices will be discounted. Your discount will vary depending on how much energy you use, where you live and your meter type. If you qualified for Warm Home Discount before 1 August 2019, your prices will be discounted regardless of how you pay.
Certain tariffs do not qualify for Direct Debit and standing order discounts. Please check the tariff terms and conditions for details.

Switching FAQs
Should I let my current supplier know I’m switching?
Once you sign up, we’ll take care of everything including telling your current energy provider that you want to switch to us.
How long will my switch take?
We’re signed up to the Energy Switch Guarantee, which means switching your gas and/or electricity will take no longer than 21 days.
What happens when I switch?
After you sign up, we’ll send your paperwork by email. Once your 14-day cooling off period has finished, we’ll ask your current energy supplier for your supply and begin your switch. Just before the switch is complete, we’ll ask you for your meter reading(s) and give these to your old supplier so they close your account on the same readings.
What is a fixed price tariff?
With a fixed price tariff your unit rate per kWh energy prices will stay the same over the period of your contract.
What does 'early exit fee' mean?
Some of our energy plans have ‘early exit fees’. We'll charge you a certain amount if you switch to a different energy supplier or tariff before the end of your contract. These fees are 'per fuel', which means there's one for gas and one for electricity. If you have both fuels (dual fuel) with us, we'll charge for both. All our exit fees are clearly stated.
Who are SSE?
We first formed in 1998 when Scottish Hydro Electric merged with Southern Electric to become Scottish and Southern Energy. Later we incorporated SWALEC and Atlantic into our family and we’re now known as SSE. You may be familiar with our local brands – SSE Southern Electric, SSE Scottish Hydro and SSE SWALEC. But no matter what our name is, our primary aim is to give great customer service to our customers.
