Commenting on the news that SSE plc has entered into an agreement to sell its SSE Energy Services business to OVO Energy Limited, Ms Roseanna Cunningham MSP, said:
“SSE is a major employer in my constituency and many of my constituents will be customers of the company. This is a major changeover that has the potential to have a huge impact on a great many people.
“I understand that assurances have been given that there will be no job losses and that terms and conditions will be protected for all staff transferred. OVO has a good reputation in the energy market as a supplier of well-priced green electricity and seems to be a good fit for the SSE Energy business.
“I do, however, want absolute clarity from both SSE and OVO about what precisely this transfer will mean for my constituents and I am writing to both companies seeking further details.”
