Pennon Group (PEGRY) Stock Price, News & Analysis

Company Overview

Pennon Group plc is a United Kingdom-based water and wastewater services company. Through its regulated businesses, the group provides clean water, wastewater collection and treatment, sewerage services, and related customer and environmental services.

Pennon’s principal operating companies include South West Water, which serves households and businesses across Devon, Cornwall, parts of Dorset and the Isles of Scilly, and Bournemouth Water, which serves communities in parts of Dorset, Hampshire and Wiltshire. The group also owns Bristol Water, providing water services to customers in and around Bristol and parts of the surrounding region.

The company traces its origins to the privatization of the English and Welsh water industry in 1989, when South West Water was established as a publicly traded utility. Pennon later expanded beyond its original South West Water operations and adopted the Pennon Group name. Its former waste-management subsidiary, Viridor, was sold in 2020, leaving water and wastewater services as the group’s core business.
