SSE plc ↔ Centrica plc
2002–2014 · Pre-2014-market-restructuring rivalry phase
SSE and Centrica's rivalry as UK 'Big Six' energy suppliers predates the UK energy retail market's post-2014 restructuring and increased competition from independent suppliers that reshaped the sector.
Now
SSE and Centrica are both FTSE 100-listed UK energy companies and former members of the "Big Six" energy suppliers; both benefited from 2026 UK government proposals to move older wind and solar farms onto fixed-price contracts.
