SSE’s Chief Executive Martin Pibworth has written in The Sunday Times about why the UK’s energy transition isn’t just necessary - it’s a competitive advantage. But it must be fair. And it must be fast. 👇 #EnergyTransition #UKGrid #FairAndFast
In today's The Sunday Times, I’ve written about why the UK’s energy transition isn’t just necessary - it’s a competitive advantage. But it must be fair. And it must be fast. We can’t afford to wait. Right now, upgrading the grid is more affordable than it will be in five or ten years. As the world’s big economies pursue and compete for the same wires, cables and equipment, materials, labour and supply chains are getting tighter. Every month we wait, the cost of securing our energy future goes up. This is about keeping homes warm, bills down, and Britain in control of its own energy future. 📰 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/ennHF6_r #EnergyTransition #UKGrid #Renewables #FairAndFast

We’re celebrating 75 years of renewable energy generation at Sloy Power Station, which was officially opened on 18 October 1950. 📆 Located of the banks of Loch Lomond, Sloy remains the UK’s largest conventional hydroelectric power station and a symbol of Scottish innovation, engineering excellence, and renewable ambition. 💧 With an installed capacity of 152.5 megawatts, Sloy generates around 130,000 megawatt-hours of clean electricity each year — enough to power approximately 48,000 homes an businesses. The station can reach full output in under five minutes, providing essential flexibility to the UK’s electricity grid. ⚡ Constructed between 1945 and 1950 under the Hydro Electric Development (Scotland) Act 1943, Sloy was a remarkable post-War engineering achievement. Seventy-five years on, Sloy continues to play a crucial role in delivering clean, reliable, and flexible renewable energy, supporting the UK’s transition to net zero.

⚡️ We’ve submitted a Section 37 application to Scottish Ministers for our proposed 400kV overhead line between Beauly and Peterhead - a key milestone in our Pathway to 2030 investment programme. Following one of the most extensive public consultation exercises ever undertaken in the region, this application marks a significant step towards delivering the infrastructure needed to meet Scotland and the UK’s clean power and energy security targets. Not only that, but the project will support jobs and deliver a lasting community benefit in the north east of Scotland. 🔗 Find out more at: https://lnkd.in/evcr4Ar4

There are less than 1600 days until 2030; the year the UK aims for clean sources of energy to produce at least 95% of all energy generation. By 2030, we plan to cut overall business carbon intensity by 80%, increase our renewable energy output fivefold and actively seek ways to decarbonise our current assets through cutting-edge solutions such as CCS and hydrogen. All while ensuring a fair and just transition to net zero. Find out more about how we are powering change in the comments below ⬇️

We’re celebrating the installation of the final turbine at our 17.3MW Puglia Wind Farm, marking a major step forward for SSE plc’s first construction project in Italy. 🇮🇹 Located across the Castel Favorito and Masseria la Cattiva sites, the project features five Siemens Gamesa 132-3.4MW turbines, safely and successfully installed through close collaboration with technicians from the turbine supplier and principal contractor, leading Italian firm IDOKA COSTRUZIONI S.R.L. At peak construction, the wind farm is supporting around 70 jobs, contributing to the local economy and supply chain in the Puglia region. With turbine installation now complete, commissioning and testing will begin ahead of commercial operation in 2026. 🌍 This milestone reflects our ongoing commitment to building new clean power assets in selected continental Europe markets.
