Lyse's telecoms business helps mitigate negative effects of lower power prices
The updated analysis is based on 2019 annual results as well as Scope's medium-term expectations of the effects of lower electricity prices in the Nordics in 2020, a trend which already began before the Covid-19 outbreak.

9/5/2019 Rating announcement EN
Scope affirms Norwegian utility Lyse at BBB+, Stable Outlook
