When the electricity industry was privatised in 1997 the UK was divided into 14 Public Electricity Suppliers (PES for short). While you can now choose from many different electricity suppliers the PES areas that you are located in will have a significant effect on the cost of your electricity. Standing charges and unit rates differ between PES areas.

Widnes is in the Manweb network PES area which covers the North Wales/Cheshire area of the UK.

Manweb is owned by SP Energy Networks who are the company responsible for maintaining the physical electricity network in Widnes and the surrounding area.
