Have ScottishPower prices risen in 2025?
As a result of the energy price cap increasing twice, ScottishPower energy prices have also risen twice in 2025. However, with the price cap due to drop in July, ScottishPower's prices will also fall.
All energy suppliers operating in the UK are subject to Ofgem's energy price cap, and ScottishPower is no exception. The cap rate sets the maximum price suppliers can charge for average use on their standard variable tariffs. This hasn't been something that the majority of customers have needed to worry about because most people used to fix and switch to avoid being put onto a standard variable tariff.
However, when wholesale energy prices rose significantly towards the end of 2021, leading to a rise in the level of the price cap, suppliers withdrew fixed deals from the market. This meant that gradually, as customers' fixed deals ended, there wasn't anything to switch to, so there are still millions of households on standard variable tariffs.
The table below shows how the price cap and Energy Price Guarantee have defined ScottishPower's standard variable tariff prices over the years.

| July 2023 - October 2023 | £1,976 | £3,000 | £1,976 |
