Delivering a cheaper, cleaner and more secure homegrown energy system

SSE is providing a £100 million investment boost into what can be Britain’s biggest pumped hydro storage scheme in 40 years.

A significant milestone has been reached in connecting Shetland to the national electricity grid for the first time as the next section of subsea cable laying gets underway, helping secure the islands future security of supply of clean, low carbon power.

SSE Renewables, Ireland’s leading renewable energy owner and operator has confirmed that that between 36 and a maximum of 60 turbines will be required to be deployed at Arklow Bank Wind Park Phase 2, compared with previous iterations of up to 200 and a more recent figure of up to 62.

The flagship Dogger Bank Wind Farm will be “at the heart of boosting” UK energy security, according to the Government’s Minister of State for Energy Security and Net Zero. Graham Stuart, MP, made the statement as he officially opened the South Tyneside operations and maintenance (O&M) base for the site.

SSE responds to the Climate Change Committee Report, “Delivering a reliable decarbonised power system".

SSE Thermal is calling on government to turbocharge the delivery of low-carbon technologies to help deliver a net zero power system by 2035.
