SSE (LON:SSE) said it delivered full-year earnings toward the top end of its guidance range while accelerating investment across its regulated networks, renewables and flexible generation businesses, as management emphasized the company’s role in supporting electrification and energy security.
Chief Executive Martin Pibworth, presenting his first full-year results as CEO, said SSE met its “overriding safety goal” of no life-changing injuries. He said injury rates have remained broadly flat despite a doubling of contractor hours over five years as investment has accelerated, crediting in part the company’s immersive safety training program, which about 14,000 people have completed.
