Electricity prices

He is talking absolute rubbish. The generation of electricity and retail sales are different. All the electricity produced goes into the grid which is like a big battery and Scottish Power does provide power to the grid. I do, however, use Scottish Power, and they were cheaper for me, but the cost depends on the amount of power you use. You should dig out some old bills and head over to uswitch.com

I get really cross when these door step salesman do this, they are not supposed to because it's misselling to try and bully someone into buying a service or tell them lies in order to scare them.
You are well within your rights to ring mpower and complain {the salesmen come from a different company but they are working on behalf of Mpower so it's their responsibility!!}
I ended up complaining because there was one on my doorstep who wouldn't go away and was trying to intimidate. we live in an area with a lot of elderly vulnerable people who get very frightened by this sort of thing and end up getting conned into spending more money than they should!
I'm also a scottish power customer and generally we've had excellent service from them so if any sellers do come to the door I just say I'm perfectly capable of using Uswitch and tell them to go away.
