Against the price cap in Southern Scotland

The Ofgem cap for a single-rate direct debit meter here is 25.85p per kWh plus 64.17p a day. Today this tariff averaged 4.00p below the cap unit rate.

This compares one day’s unit rates only. What you pay also depends on the standing charge and on when you use electricity, so treat this as an indication rather than a saving. Cap period 2026-07-01 to 2026-09-30.

Your distribution network

The wires here are run by SP Energy Networks, not by your supplier.

Minutes without power
25.8 minutes for the average customer in 2024/25, against a target of 29.6 — met. The industry average was 35.1.
How often supply was lost
31.3 interruptions per 100 customers in 2024/25, against a target of 41.8.

These figures do not change when you switch tariff or supplier — the network is the same whoever bills you. Every region compared.

What is regional about this, and what is not

The unit rate and standing charge differ by distribution region because the cost of getting electricity to your door does. The Ofgem cap is set regionally for the same reason, which is why the comparison above uses Southern Scotland’s cap rather than a national average.

The network figures are about the wires, not the supplier. Switching tariff or supplier does not change who maintains your local network or how often the power goes off — those stay the same whoever bills you.
