  1. We do all we can to avoid any extra costs. However, if you don’t have or commit to a smart or half-hourly meter, and factors occur that are outside our control, like a new element or tax, we may need to pass these on

  2. All our renewable electricity is matched to wind, hydro and solar assets wholly or partly owned by SSE Renewables, our sister company in the SSE Group. With SSE Green electricity, you’ll continue to get your electricity through the national grid as normal, and we’ll match your consumption to REGOs from the SSE Group’s generating assets.

  3. While we strive to make accurate predictions and do all we can to keep these costs secure, this product does allow for some fluctuation. If third-party costs are higher than we forecast, the price you pay may increase.
