Providing the energy people need

We own over 11,000 megawatts of electricity generation capacity, distribute electricity to 3.5 million homes and workplaces and supply electricity, gas and other services to over 10 million customers.

Who we are

Hydro piping running from the dam.

In December 1998 we were formed with the merger of Scottish Hydro Electric and Southern Electric.

Transmitting and distributing energy

We’re the only energy company in the UK to be involved in electricity transmission, electricity distribution and gas distribution, giving us a diverse range of economically-regulated businesses.

Networks

Looking up at pylon with blue sky and clouds behind.

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

Hydro electric dam at Pitlochry

We are the UK's second largest generation business, with a total capacity of just over 11,300MW.
