Scottish Power ombudsman & regulator routes
Which ombudsman handles Scottish Power complaints?
Energy Ombudsman. Once Scottish Power’s own complaints process is exhausted (after 8 weeks or a deadlock letter), you can take your complaint there for free. Go to the ombudsman. Read our guide to the Energy Ombudsman.
Can you complain to Ofgem about Scottish Power?
Not for individual disputes: Ofgem sets the rules for the sector but does not resolve personal complaints or award compensation. Complain to Scottish Power directly first and keep written records, then escalate to the Energy Ombudsman if it stays unresolved after 8 weeks or you receive a deadlock or final-response letter. You can still report Scottish Power to Ofgem to flag systemic problems, but that will not get your own money back.
