The final preparations for completion is expected around mid-January 2020.
On completion, the net cash proceeds of this transaction will be used to reduce SSE's net debt.

As stated when the transaction was announced on 13 September, cash proceeds received on completion of the transaction will reflect a deduction of GBP59 million (US$77.8 million) reflecting debt-like items and the impact of the operation of the 'locked box mechanism' which set a date for the transfer of economic interest of 30 June 2019.
