Scottish Power have a fantastic attitude when it comes to smart meters when they say:
“At ScottishPower we believe our job is more than just to bring you energy. It's also about making your energy choices clear and simple which can help you save on your energy costs. That's why we think the Government's plan to introduce smart meters in all homes across Britain by 2020 is a positive change.

As Scottish power offer several different types of bills, with slight differences, they have set up and FAQ section full of helpful advice on making sense of your bills and videos explaining them.
Below is an excerpt from one of their PDF’s online explaining the layout of one type of invoice. You generally get the same type of invoice as other suppliers with the same basic info. Some people claim they can be difficult to read, but it may be a case of additional information added by Scottish Power, and the online help section is very useful when it comes to deciphering your invoice.
Ways To Pay:
To notify Scottish power of a change of tenancy you must either call them or fill out a form they provide and send it to them. You will need to provide the details of the new tenant but if they need any further information they will contact you for it. A final invoice will be issued to you within 14 days of it being prepared.
They provide a good explanation of this on their website. Although the method isn’t as easy as an online form, it is clear and transparent.
