  • Constitutional arrangements

    SSE employs people and owns and operates assets in England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

    Different constitutional arrangements apply in each of these jurisdictions.  They are, however, all within the EU and, as such, are required to support the achievement of legally-binding targets for more renewable energy and lower carbon dioxide emissions.  Whatever the constitutional arrangements, they need to support the achievement of such targets and of sustainable energy supplies generally.

    SSE strongly believes that constitutional arrangements and questions of nationhood are matters for voters and are not something on which it is appropriate for it to comment on.
