SSE has revealed it is expecting to report its adjusted earnings per share to be in the range of 147-152p when it publishes its full-year results on 28 May.

The energy company said the updated guidance reflects “strong operational performance and strategic delivery” during the year.

SSE was announcing a trading update ahead of releasing its annual results that will cover the year to 31 March 2026. The company revealed it is on course to deliver around £3.5bn of capital investment, with just over £10bn of adjusted net debt and hybrid capital, as the group progresses its five-year £33bn investment plan.

The FTSE 100 group’s regulated networks businesses are expected to deliver around a 60% year-on-year increase in capital investment, as momentum continues in the delivery of their long-term business plans.

SSE said that most of this increase has been delivered in transmission, which now has five of the 11 major projects under construction, and 26 of the 34 required major consents received.

A statement from the company also said: “SSE continues to closely monitor developments in the Middle East, but there has been no immediate impact to the group’s overall performance given the resilience of our business mix.”
