SSE says to cut number of customers on poor value energy tariffs

Britain's SSE said on Monday it will work to cut the number of its customers on standard variable tariffs (SVTs), which are facing a price cap from Britain's energy regulator.SSE has the highest percentage of retail customers on SVTs of Britain's big six energy suppliers, with around 90 percent, according to regulator Ofgem."From the early part of next financial year (April 1) SSE will no longer automatically roll customers onto SVTs once they have come to the end of their fixed term contracts,"
