The Tangy wind facility will be upgraded with 16 new turbines

The UK’s competition watchdog provisionally cleared the deal last month

The UK’s competition watchdog has provisionally cleared a deal that would see the two Big Six companies join together

The merger is not expected to have a significant impact on standard variable tariff pricing

It will be invested in renewable energy projects aross the UK

The Big Six supplier is investing more than £1bn to install seven million meters across Britain

The Big Six firm said calm weather meant output from offshore and onshore wind facilities was 15% lower than planned

There will be no interruption to customers’ supply as SSE will continue to provide gas and electricity

It also paid £475,000 to other customers who ended up paying more following the switch as a ‘goodwill gesture’

This would enable the plant to independently resume operations following a failure of the electricity system
