Here are the latest headlines I can share about ScottishPower:
ScottishPower pauses UK hydrogen projects despite subsidies (Sept 2025). The company said it will pause its green hydrogen initiatives in the UK even though final subsidy contracts had been signed for two Scottish facilities, citing challenging market conditions for green hydrogen. This reflects ongoing uncertainty around hydrogen economics and market readiness, despite government support, and may influence future investment in hydrogen at scale.[1]
ScottishPower receives significant funding for grid upgrades in Scotland (May 2025). The company was reported to secure around £1.35 billion for upgrading Scotland-England transmission cables to move wind power southward, supported by the National Wealth Fund and banks; energy secretary Miliband framed this as accelerating clean power delivery by 2030. This indicates continued heavy investment in grid infrastructure to accommodate more renewable generation.[3]
ScottishPower remains a major player in UK energy networks and wind generation. They are part of the Iberdrola group, with a strategy centered on regulated networks, transmission, and low-carbon generation including onshore and offshore wind. SP Energy Networks operates key transmission and distribution assets in central/southern Scotland and neighboring regions.[5][6]
Recent media coverage includes regulatory and customer-service discussions around energy suppliers, with ScottishPower appearing in industry-wide contexts and rankings about consumer experience. For example, a Which? ranking in early 2026 placed ScottishPower among the lowest-rated UK suppliers for customer service, alongside peers. This may influence public perception and customer interactions moving forward.[8]
For press releases and official updates, ScottishPower’s own newsroom is a reliable source for the latest statements and policy positions as of 2026, including updates on projects and financial results. You can also review their general corporate information and energy solutions on their main site.[7][10]
If you’d like, I can pull the most up-to-date articles from specific outlets (e.g., press releases, industry outlets, or consumer news) and summarize them with dates and key takeaways. I can also tailor a brief timeline of ScottishPower’s hydrogen and grid projects over the past year. Would you like that?
