SSE

The energy giant has joined a host of other businesses in signing up to the C-19 Business Pledge

The energy supplier said the power plant, which started operating in 1982, ‘remains a critical part’ of its generation portfolio

The deal makes OVO one of the biggest suppliers in Britain, now serving almost five million customers

The acquisition is expected to be completed in January 2020

The precaution would not prevent the companies from being taken over by a Labour Government but could help to protect investors

That’s the call from SSE Chief Executive Alistair Phillips-Davies, who spoke on Radio 4’s Today Programme this morning

The Competition and Markets Authority is inviting comments from interested parties until 6th November 2019

The supplier says the deal offers the equivalent of 8,000 miles free a year

The deal, once approved, will make OVO the second largest energy supplier in the UK

The energy giant says they will be trained up to tackle climate change across a variety of roles within the organisation
