Responding to the Prime Minister’s announcement of new plans to Build Back Greener by making the UK the world leader in low-cost green energy, Alistair Phillips-Davies, SSE Chief Executive, said:

"We welcome this news which will help ensure that more low cost offshore wind can be deployed before 2030, creating green jobs and putting the UK on the right path to net zero. This complements SSE’s own plans to invest over £7.5 billion in low carbon infrastructure over the next five years, including building the largest offshore wind farm in the world at Dogger Bank with Equinor. We look forward to working with government to ensure that offshore wind continues to be cost-competitive as we deploy it at greater scale"
