The U.K's Competition and Markets Authority said Tuesday that it has referred the proposed merger of SSE PLC's (SSE.LN) retail division with Innogy SE's (IGY.XE) Npower for an in-depth investigation.
The CMA said SSE and Npower--the U.K. retail power business of Innogy--didn't offer any measures to address its initial findings, which concluded the deal could reduce competition and lead to higher prices for some customers.
A decision on the merger will now be made by a group of independent panel members, with a deadline for their final report of Oct. 22, the CMA said.
The two companies set out the proposed merger in November, with SSE shareholders to get a 66% stake in the combined business.
Alistair Phillips-Davies, chief executive of SSE, previously said he was confident that the proposed merger would benefit customers and the energy market as a whole as well as that the company will demonstrate this to the CMA.
