Who runs the electricity network in Southern Scotland?

SP Distribution (part of SP Energy Networks) is the distribution network operator for the Southern Scotland region. It runs the local cables and substations; you buy your energy from a supplier. Network costs are part of every supplier’s prices, which is one reason prices differ by region.

Which areas are in the Southern Scotland price-cap region?

The region is the SP Distribution licence area, which includes Glasgow, Edinburgh, Ayr and Dumfries. Regions follow the electricity network, not county or council borders, so places near a boundary can fall either side. Cities listed are examples well inside each area. Search your postcode with the Energy Networks Association to confirm your network operator.

Is this what my supplier will charge?

Only if you are on a default (standard variable) tariff paying by Direct Debit. The cap is a maximum for those tariffs. Fixed deals, prepayment and Standard Credit, and Economy 7 meters have different rates, so check the unit rate and standing charge on your bill.
