SSE Airtricity posts higher profits amid energy crisis

In its latest trading update, the energy provider posted operating profits of €17m, up from €3.4m, during the first half of the year.

SSE Airtricity is the largest natural gas supplier in Northern Ireland.

SSE Airtricity posted increased profits as energy prices soar but said it will use this boost to business to be “responsible” amid growing economic challenges.

The British company said it will “forego any profits” as its customers face rising costs due to inflation and energy prices exacerbated by the war in Ukraine.
