About us
We love Wales. That’s why we’ve been keeping Welsh homes lit and warm for almost as long as it takes to say Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch! Our journey as a company stretches back to the 1940s when we operated under the South Wales Electricity Board name. Today, as part of the Scottish and Southern Energy Group, a FTSE 100 company, we manage the largest distribution network in the UK and look after over 9 million customer accounts.
Helping you to save
We also love looking after Welsh pockets - so as well as bringing power to the people, we give people the power to save money by becoming energy-efficient. We are committed to rewarding our customers at each step you take to lower your bills - from choosing paperless billing to lowering your energy usage.
Our approach seems to work and our customers seem to like it - so much so that we’ve picked up a few awards along the way including ‘Best Overall Energy Supplier’ by uSwitch six times in a row*.
Making the most of the weather
Instead of complaining about the British weather, we think it makes sense to get the best out of it. So we use it for what we do best – making sustainable energy. Whilst the raindrops power the likes of Glendoe - the UK’s largest hydro-electric power station - the good old South Western breeze contributes to power our off-shore wind farms. It makes sense to think about the environment when it comes to energy. It also makes sense that we generate more renewable electricity than any other energy company in the UK^.
Let us help you save money and think about the environment, and let us reward you for taking control. Together we can make a difference.
*SWALEC is part of the Scottish and Southern Energy Group, voted Best Overall Energy Supplier in the 2006 (two Reports), 2007 (two Reports), 2008 and 2009 uSwitch Customer Satisfaction Reports.
^"We" means the Scottish and Southern Energy Group, of which SSE Energy Supply Ltd and SSE Generation Ltd are members. SSE Generation Ltd, as part of the Scottish and Southern Energy Group, generates more renewable electricity than any other energy company in the UK.
