ScottishPower is offering its customers half price electricity during the World Cup with two hours of cut rate power during all planned group matches for Scotland and England.
ScottishPower said the limited-time offer will help customers make the most of the event while keeping energy costs down. The bonus hours can be grabbed in addition to the existing Power Saver scheme which allows customers to choose eight hours of electricity at half price every week, at a time that suits their lifestyle best.
ScottishPower said it expects the tournament to be the biggest overnight electricity demand event in its history, with opening fixtures forecast to create surge in demand — during what is normally one of the quietest periods for the network.
Existing ScottishPower customers will soon be able to opt into the Power Saver World Cup bonus hours initiative, and new customers joining the leading green energy company will be eligible to opt in too.

Key matches included in the offer are (UK kick-off times);
