We distribute electricity to 3.5 million homes and businesses across one third of the UK’s total land area.

Working to reduce carbon dioxide emissions

We believe the energy industry will be radically re-shaped as carbon dioxide emissions are reduced and fossil fuels become scarcer and our low carbon transition is well under way.

Generation

Home /Energy policy /Our approach

  • Our approach

    The framework within which the energy industry operates is set by Government. If Government wishes to implement changes to this framework to achieve certain objectives then it will develop policies and implement these through a combination of legislation and regulation.

    These policies can have far-reaching consequences for both the UK as a whole, and the businesses which operate there. As such SSE, along with a variety of other industry stakeholder, regularly engages with Government departments to discuss policy proposals in detail to try and ensure that the overall framework for the UK energy market is improved and that policies deliver their objectives effectively.

    There are three major areas of the energy market on which policy is focussed:

    • Generation - how electricity is produced
    • Networks - transporting electricity and gas around the UK
    • Supply - supplying electricity and gas to consumers in the UK
