Each customer is provided with a free better plan monitor (worth £45). This is a real-time display device which enables customers to understand how they are using electricity and highlights where they could be wasting it. With this understanding customers will be better placed to take action to reduce their energy use.
As well as the lower bills that result from using less energy, better plan customers will receive a cash credit reward based on the scale of reduction they have achieved each year - £15 for a 10% reduction and £25 for a 20% reduction.
Other incentives are available to better plan customers who want to take further action to become more energy efficient. By using any of a wide range of SSE’s services, customers will benefit from exclusive savings and earn further cash credits. For example, better plan customers can save up to £150 on the installation of cavity wall insulation and earn a £20 cash credit on their energy bill when they do so.
Cash credits can also be earned when customers sign up for other free services, such as paperless billing and wiring checks.
