The next divi is still 39.19p.
This is a huge investment by NG and anybody getting in the way of it to harm the company needs to think what life might be like if their was no transmission and all the power was off. The assets of NG is a treasure not just for the company but for all of us and plant value is £68 billion. NG always has debt and it makes it difficult for other companies to ever acquire it. Labour party have said they had no intention of nationalising NG in the past few days. NG has been running short of energy capacity for some time. Asking companies to not use electricity and stop using electricity in winter months to satisfy domestic demand is hardly going to generate a growth economy. If things do get warmer and we see more 40C summers in future expect more air conditioning use and that certainly use electricity as I have fit aircon in my own home. If the scientists are right about global warming NG is making the correct moves as consumers react to climate change events. None of no for sure what the future holds, but having a little NG is like owning a little bit of gold, it has a carry cost, but it is useful insurance if you ever need to use it. Tony
