Scottish Power is an interesting energy company with lots of customers in the UK.

Scottish Power, or ScottishPower as it is sometimes spelled, was founded in 1990. It was set up in preparation for the privatisation of the previously state owned Scottish electricity industry the following year and since then it has grown exponentially. Key to the position of Scottish Power was the takeover bid from Iberdola in 2006, which is now the parent company of Scottish Power.

Scottish Power is Europe’s third largest energy company and its headquarters are in Glasgow.
