Scottish & Southern Energy PLC
23 March 2006



Scottish and Southern Energy plc ('SSE') is hosting a visit for analysts today
and tomorrow (23 and 24 March) at its Ferrybridge Power Station in South
Yorkshire.


The focus of the visit is to examine the role of coal in the UK energy sector.
It will include separate presentations on: the current review of UK energy
policy; SSE's portfolio of electricity generation capacity; the global market
for coal; coal in the UK electricity generation market; possible technological
developments in respect of coal and the operation and future development of the
Ferrybridge station and its sister station at Fiddler's Ferry.


The presentations will be in line with SSE's strategy, as set out in its Annual
Report and Accounts 2005 and its subsequent Interim Results Statement. Their
purpose is to enhance analysts' understanding of all of the issues related to
coal in the UK electricity generation market.


The visit is taking place shortly before the end of this financial year and SSE
is confident that its preliminary results, scheduled for publication on 31 May
2006, will be broadly in line with current market expectations.
