Questor share tip: SSE is powering ahead Additionally, the Scottish government gave its approval yesterday for the Viking wind farm on the Shetland Islands. This will be built in partnership with Viking Energy, which is 90pc owned by the Shetland Charitable Trust. It was also revealed yesterday that SSE had made the Government's list of the first "Green Deal" providers, which will take part in the programme to properly insulate the UK's 26 million homes. All of this news is good for future profits and therefore future dividend payments. Income seekers can feel reassured. SSE also said last week that, following its 4.5pc cut in its unit price for household gas on March 26, it would will not implement any increase in household electricity and gas prices before October. The shares are trading on a March 2013 earnings multiple of 12.1, falling to 11.1 next year. The prospective yield is 5.9pc, rising to 6.3pc. Questor continues to rate the shares a hold, as SSE has to deliver on its new projects. However, this week's news looks like management are on track.
