How Energy Prices Vary Across Aberdeen

Aberdeen’s pricing can shift significantly depending on:

• Your location (city centre vs outskirts vs rural Aberdeenshire)
• Whether your property uses gas, electric-only or dual-fuel
• Meter type (Standard, Smart, Economy 7/10)
• Standing charges and distribution network costs
• Annual usage patterns
• Electric heating setups and day/night rate structures

Homes in built-up areas such as Rosemount, Mastrick and Garthdee may see lower distribution costs, while rural areas and electric-only homes often pay higher unit rates.

This means the cheapest supplier for one Aberdeen postcode may not be the cheapest for another only a few miles away.
