SSE has reported an adjusted pre-tax profit of £2.18bn for the year, up from £1.16bn a year earlier.
The energy group's preliminary results for the year ended 31 March 2023 showed a record £2.8bn of capital expenditure and investment - greater than profits - in projects across low-carbon electricity infrastructure.
This included continuing the acceleration of investment through a five-year strategic plan to 2027, upgrading targets while also advancing the previous plan by 12 months, to account for a changing investment mix.
