Our renewable electricity
Green electricity straight from our UK wind farms
Not all green energy is equal. And not all energy suppliers are the same. We’re different because all our 100% renewable electricity comes from SSE’s own UK hydro plants and wind farms.1 And we’re building lots more – clean, renewable energy generation to help the UK reach net zero.
Building the world’s largest offshore wind farm
One turn of its massive turbines can power a UK household for two days. When complete, it should supply 6 million homes in the UK with clean, renewable electricity.
That’s Dogger Bank, destined to be the world’s largest offshore wind farm. And the SSE Group is building it with partners Equinor and Eni off the North East coast of England. We’ve also developed Seagreen, Scotland’s largest offshore wind farm which is now fully operational, and are building Viking, one of Europe’s most productive onshore wind farms on the Shetland Islands.
As a national clean energy champion, SSE Group plans to invest £20.5bn by 2027 in a mix of low-carbon infrastructure including offshore wind and new networks. This critical infrastructure is so clearly needed for a future energy system that is cleaner, more secure and more affordable.
So join us and help build for net zero – for us and the next generation.
