Should get a nice divi on Friday. Just a pity my SSE shares are held in Beaufort Securities.

I can't really believe that the media hasn't identified just how much all these green taxes are costing. The government are just being totally duplicitous blaming all the additional cost on the providers. Add the fact that these other Mickey Mouse companies setting up are ruining the market and you've got the current diabolical situation. In my view Utilities run privately with a good regulator is the best way to ge but Ofgem has been useless and the new competitor companies just a distraction adding no real value.

UK energy sector has become a political football. Politicians say whatever they think will be popular with the electorate with scant regard for the consequences, short or long term. Tread carefully.

It makes me very angry when politicians castigate energy companies for price rises which the politicians are actually responsible for themselves.

[pierre oreilly] 07/3/2018 10:07

You mean like the greens forcing closure of perfectly good coal stations and replacing them with windmills (which dont and can't actually replace them) and when it looks like powercuts are looming, spend 3 billion quid this year, more next, reopening those coal stations due to a lack of instructable and reserve capacity? It's only 3 billion quid (if you ignore the very high subsidies given to build the windmills and the high subsidies given when they actually generate and the even higher subsidies when they are instructed not to generate due to transmission constrants and/or a lack of demand at 3 in the morning).

He said the price cap will be a temporary measure which will be set at a level where competition can still take place while protecting customers from “an ever increasing differential” between the energy price paid by customers who shop around for a better deal and those who remain on default standard tariffs.

Protecting which customers? Those who shop around are protecting themselves and don't need help - those who don't are happy as they are and also don't need help.

And prices would be lower anyway but for government meddling, forcing idiotic "green" schemes on the energy companies.

As usual everything the government does is harmful.

Quite agreed. Divi paid in 10 days - so it'll probably move up before then!!

[coxsmn] 06/3/2018 20:00

It's time the share price headed north.

Big freeze creates 12 year spike in UK gas prices. FT

Added here today. Great buy at the moment.

Moneysupermarket, which warned last summer that a lack of bargains being offered by the big energy providers would hit its full-year profits as fewer people were switching.

Centrica announcing 4000 job losses today will send a needed message to Ofgem and politicians about meddling in the energy market for votes

others will have to follow if it increases productivity

Consequences......

All weather models seem to be showing unusual cold for all next week. Some show exceptional cold, 10-12C below normal - with snow in a brisk easterly. It looks set to be quite a test for the gas and electricity grids.

Ikea joins big clean switch source guardian
Article makes interesting reading about the future of green electricity. If it takes of it could be substantial . They recon they can save each household about £300 pa

Skinny

FT is subscribed, so the best way to get the article free for cheap states like me is to google the headline and click on the story . Then you have free access to that story.

Also the comments section is worth reading. I get more from the comments then the article sometimes as there are debates on the pro’s and con’s of the article from some fairly knowledgeable bb’s

National grid plans electric car power points FT

well worth reading . I am hoping SSE jumps on the bandwagon sooner rather then later. With the pressure on margins from supplying domestic this could be a nice earner . Any ideas out there on when we will have more cars running on electric then fossil and what it will mean for electric suppliers .

I tried to raise this debate on this board as I thought it relevant with no takers

[whatsup32] 18/2/2018 10:17

Article in the Sunday times ‘ British Gas owner feels heat’
And daily telegraph ‘uk energy consumption falling’

It looks like CNA will pay out .12p div. profits down from £1.5b to £1.3b . I think mostly in price and fairly good for share price expectations next week. Fingers crossed

DT EDF reports consumption falling due to energy efficient products. Eg. Fridge /freezers, tv’s etc.

Both articles are relevant to SSE
