Scottish Power Heat Pump Tariff 2026: Availability and Alternatives

Scottish Power's dedicated heat pump tariff is not currently available. Scottish Power has offered a heat pump tariff called Heat Pump Saver, but its website now says the tariff is not currently available because of market conditions. Earlier versions of this page described a flat-rate Scottish Power heat pump tariff with rates and savings figures that we could not verify, so we have removed them.

This page explains what that means if you are a Scottish Power customer with a heat pump, what you pay on its standard variable tariff, and the alternatives worth checking. Tariffs change often, so check Scottish Power's own site for the latest position. Last reviewed October 2026.

What Scottish Power Offers Heat Pump Owners

With Heat Pump Saver unavailable, a Scottish Power customer with a heat pump is on one of its general electricity tariffs. Its standard variable tariff is covered by the Ofgem price cap, which for 1 October 2026 to 31 December 2026 is 26.32p per kWh and 54.83p per day for electricity (GB average, Direct Debit; your regional rate may differ). Fixed deals come and go, so check Scottish Power's current tariffs.

What Heat Pump Tariffs Usually Require

Dedicated heat pump tariffs from UK suppliers typically ask for:

• Evidence of a heat pump: usually your MCS certificate or installation details
• A smart meter: needed for any time-of-use pricing
• Being their customer: you need to be, or switch to, that supplier for electricity

Despite the name, Scottish Power supplies electricity across Great Britain. If it relaunches a heat pump tariff, check the eligibility rules on its website for your postcode.

How Much Could a Time-of-Use Tariff Save?

In this illustration, moving to a Cosy-style time-of-use tariff saves about £320 a year, but only if you schedule your heating so that most of it falls in the cheap windows.

For homes with poor insulation where the heat pump needs to run throughout the day, a time-of-use tariff saves less, because more use falls in the peak window (on Cosy, 4pm-7pm at 50% above the day rate). In that case a competitive flat-rate tariff may be the better choice.

What to Do If You Are With Scottish Power

• Check for updates: see whether Scottish Power has relaunched Heat Pump Saver or another heat pump tariff
• Compare standard and fixed deals: a fixed deal may suit you if you value predictable bills
• Consider a time-of-use tariff: if you can schedule heating, tariffs such as Cosy Octopus can cost less
• If you have an EV: EV tariffs such as EDF GoElectric or E.ON Next Drive have cheaper overnight rates, but they usually require an electric vehicle

Scottish Power vs Other Suppliers

• vs Octopus Energy: Octopus offers Cosy Octopus, a dedicated heat pump tariff with three cheap windows a day. Scottish Power has no heat pump tariff available at present
• vs British Gas: check both suppliers' current standard and fixed deals
• vs EDF: EDF's GoElectric is an EV tariff with overnight savings; it usually requires an electric vehicle
• vs E.ON: E.ON Next Drive is also an EV tariff with cheaper overnight rates
