SSE recorded the largest energy generation profits among the Big Six at almost 670 million pounds, while British Gas and EDF Energy recorded the lowest profits.Meanwhile, the domestic and non-domestic supply segments have waned in recent years, with losses exceeding profits by several million British pounds.
