SSE Urges U.K. to Hasten Power-Plant Payments to Keep Lights On

The U.K. must accelerate plans to pay power-station operators to guarantee generation capacity or risk stymieing investments, utility SSE Plc said.

Payments should be made from the tax year starting next April, Chief Executive Officer Alistair Phillips-Davies said in an e-mail. They’re currently scheduled to start in 2018.
