Waste targets to be met and water in line

Pennon’s full-year trading update confirmed it is performing in line with market and management expectations. South West Water (SWW) is on track to deliver an 11.7% return on regulated equity (RORE) and management maintains its current-year guidance for a £100m contribution from Viridor’s energy recovery facilities (ERFs). Management highlights outperformance in the water business as driven by efficiencies, while company-wide revenue growth is provided by the Viridor waste business. It is this combination that enables the sector-leading dividend policy of growing the payout by 4% above inflation.
