SSE statement on BEIS Select Committee letter to the Competition and Markets Authority
In response to the letter from Rachel Reeves MP, Chair of the Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy Select Committee, to Dr Andrea Coscelli, Chief Executive of the Competition and Markets Authority, a spokesperson for SSE said:
“The merger will improve competition by offering customers a completely new model combining the resources of established players with the agility and innovation of an independent supplier – turning 60 competitors into 59, not five, and ultimately offering better value for customers. This is, naturally, subject to the appropriate regulatory approvals and we will engage openly with the CMA, the BEIS Select Committee and any other interested parties as the process goes on.”
