SSE (SSEZF) Stock Price, News & Analysis

Company Overview

SSE plc is a UK-based energy company involved in the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity. Its operations include renewable energy projects, regulated electricity networks, flexible thermal generation and energy-related infrastructure. The company’s renewable portfolio includes onshore and offshore wind farms, hydroelectric facilities and other low-carbon assets.

SSE owns and operates electricity distribution and transmission networks through its Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks businesses, serving customers and communities across northern Scotland and central southern England. It also develops and operates energy infrastructure in the United Kingdom and Ireland, with a focus on expanding renewable generation and supporting the transition to a lower-carbon power system.

The company was formed in 1998 through the merger of Scottish Hydro-Electric and Southern Electric. SSE subsequently exited the majority of its household energy supply operations, selling its retail energy business to OVO Energy in 2020, and has since focused primarily on networks, renewable generation and other energy infrastructure activities.
