Now is the time to drive change in energy. We're investing over £20 billion in homegrown solutions, building the world’s largest offshore wind farm, transforming the grid, and creating thousands of quality jobs.⚡🌍 To achieve this, we need industry and government to collaborate effectively. Together, we can build a sustainable future. We're committed to delivering practical solutions for a decarbonised energy system while reducing our emissions. With major projects like Berwick Bank offshore wind farm and Coire Glas pumped hydro storage lined up, we’re ready to increase our investments beyond 2027—if the right policies are in place. #CleanEnergy

UK Cities have a critical role in helping the UK go further and faster to meet the targets of clean power by 2030 and net zero by 2050. A new report from the Centre for Cities about accelerating net-zero delivery, sponsored by SSE, finds that bringing UK cities in line with their European counterparts will speed up decarbonisation in terms of how we build, move and power our cities. SSE can support cities' decarbonisation efforts by providing innovative energy solutions that promote sustainability, reduce carbon emissions and help reach UK Government’s net zero targets.

Carbon capture has a critical role to play in delivering a clean power system - and the Green Industrial Partnership announced between the UK and Norway can help to accelerate its deployment, boosting economic growth and supporting a just transition.

The UK Government has published a new Clean Power Action Plan to protect households and boost the economic growth of clean energy. The plan is welcomed, especially as it aims to unlock £40billion of investment a year in clean power. But we need to act now. To deliver a cleaner, more secure power system for Britain we urgently need to get building clean energy infrastructure on an unprecedented scale. This will require a bolder and more decisive approach from the Government and from regulatory bodies to remove the barriers to development and to back the technologies we need. Today’s plan provides important further clarity on how this will be done, and the pace at which it has been developed is particularly welcome. We need this urgency to continue. With £40bn of capital investment needed per year, the key thing now is to help derisk that investment in order to minimise costs. We look forward to seeing further clarity over the coming months on market design in particular, where we continue to urge government to rule out zonal pricing as soon as possible to remove the associated risks and sharpen the focus on what really counts – delivering mission-critical infrastructure, boosting energy security and driving economic growth. 🔗 To read SSE plc's full response head to the link in the comments below 👇 Department for Energy Security and Net Zero #CleanPowerActionPlan
