that's why it's down a bit I think but yield is still excellent and forecast to be increased by at least RPI going forwards and other aspects more positive

SSE WARNS OVER NEXT YEAR'S EARNINGS


(ShareCast News) - Energy supplier SSE said on Thursday that it expects operating profit in its networks division to be around £100m lower in 2017/18 than the current year on a like-for-like basis.
In addition, changes in the gas distribution revenue earned by SGN are likely to reduce its operating profit contribution to SSE by around £20m, after taking account of SSE's sale of a 16.7% stake in the business.

SSE said it now expects its dividend cover for 2017/18 to be within, but towards the bottom of the expected range of around 1.2 times to 1.4 times that it set outs in its annual report 2016 for the three years to 2018/19.

On a brighter note, the company said it expects adjusted earnings per share of between 122p and 125p for 2016/17, up from a stated target of at least 120p. It also said dividend cover is likely to be at the top of the range of around 1.2 times to 1.4 times that it expected, as stated in May last year.

Finance director Gregor Alexander said: "The operating environment has presented SSE with a number of complex issues to manage, but in this financial year we have been able to offset the impact of disappointing renewable energy output caused by drier and less windy weather conditions.

"We can expect additional challenges in the new financial year, but we are committed to delivering annual dividend growth that at least keeps pace with inflation, and to working towards ensuring that dividend cover remains within the expected range, albeit towards the bottom of it."

At 0900 BST, the shares were down 1.7% to 1,462.80p.

2017/18 would appear to be a tougher year, based on current data.

From the RNS:
Financial outlook - 2016/17

SSE expects that it will deliver for 2016/17:

-- an increase in the full-year dividend that is at least equal to RPI inflation*, currently expected to be slightly over 2%;

-- adjusted earnings per share* of between 122 pence and 125 pence, which compares with the stated target of at least 120 pence; and

-- dividend cover that is towards the top of the range of around 1.2 times to around 1.4 times that SSE expects, as stated in May 2016, to deliver over the three years to 2018/19.

Is the Chancellor about to shaft the utilities share holders for some more money?

Thanks for that Pierre , I just looked up more detail and I see that the auction prices for both this and the December T4 (2021) auction were lower than other recent auctions and on both occasions SSE did not achieve their aimed sales.
Not sure if this means that they could subsequently earn more for that capacity if the price goes up in the meantime.

I guess Ofgem's latest announcement about meter capping is probably not good news here today not that the share price seems affected .

Wad, Capacity auctions are new to me, but afaiu, it's the government (well, you and me) paying just to ensure there's enough available capacity into next year. So if i have a powerstation of 1GW, i can say ok, i'll agree to generate when you tell me throughout next year for £8m. If you don't pay me £8m, then i may or may not generate if you need me to. If the government want 50GW of capacity available to meet the peak next year, then they'll offer the cash to cheapest 50GW bid. It's a way of getting more dispatchable (i.e generation they can rely upon) generation on the grid. As you know, the grid has almost reached saturation of unreliable or intermittent generation wth all the over generous subsidies paid for wind and solar.

I'm sure there's more to it than that, but i think that's probably how it all works. I think there are some posters who still work on all this stuff, and if we're lucky they may come to explain in more detail.

Anyhow, i bought more sse earlier today, i think the divis safe and the capacity payments they did win will be a bit of extra profit for them.

Seems like mixed news , the latter two stations look a bit of a worry , though I am not sure how these auctions work.

dividend yield now > 6% and increasing at least in line with RPI (better than pensions which generally now link to CPI) over the next three years to 2018/19 can't be bad
