Energy giant SSE loses another 160,000 customers
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-47169359"Big six" energy giant SSE has seen a sharp drop in customer numbers and has cut its full-year earnings forecast.
It said it had lost 160,000 customers in the final three months of last year, leaving it with 5.88 million accounts....
SSE said it was assessing options for its domestic supply business...
SSE chief executive Alistair Phillips-Davies said the company was making "good progress" on deciding what to do with its retail business, SSE Energy Services.
The options it has identified so far include: simply splitting it off and listing it on the stock market; a sale; or an alternative transaction.
The shares were down slightly on the news.
Donald Brown, from stockbrokers Brewin Dolphin, said the future of SSE Energy Services "remains unclear".
"However, it's difficult to see who might be interested in buying the business, which has been in decline for some time," he added.
