Delivering a cheaper, cleaner, more secure energy system

The National Wealth Fund has announced an £800 million financial guarantee to support SSEN Transmission's delivery of four major electricity grid upgrade projects in northern Scotland.

SSE is marking a significant milestone in the delivery of its industry-leading initiative, supporting communities across the UK and Ireland, as it celebrates investing more than £100,000 through its Thermal Community Benefit Fund. 

Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) Distribution has completed an £8.7m network upgrade which is now benefitting tens of thousands of customers who live and work in the Fleet and Aldershot areas of east Hampshire.

SSEN Transmission has today [Wednesday 17 December] agreed its biggest housing deal so far, with housebuilder the Springfield Group, marking a significant step forward in its commitment to contribute to the delivery of 1,000 new homes across the north of Scotland, in support of plans to build the new electricity transmission infrastructure that is needed to deliver on Scotland and the UK’s energy security and clean power goals.

SSEN Transmission notes the publication of Ofgem’s Final Determination for the RIIO-T3 price control period, which comes at a critical time for securing clean, affordable power for families and businesses across the country.
