Our work with government, local authorities, NHS and healthcare organisations, universities and schools gives us first-hand experience of the pressures and priorities shaping public-sector energy projects.
- Constrained budgets, growing electricity demand and ambitious decarbonisation targets create competing objectives.
- We can help you navigate these priorities across existing estates, new developments and local regeneration projects.
Our energy solutions for the public sector
Reduce energy waste and costs through smarter controls, automation and energy insight platforms. From ageing estates to new developments, we can help buildings operate more efficiently.
Generate low-carbon electricity onsite and use it more effectively with solar and battery storage. We can design, deliver and operate solutions around your estate, with funded options available.
Plan, deliver and invest in the electrical infrastructure needed for growing demand and new development. From grid connections to private networks, we help build and manage the power infrastructure you need.
Choose independently verified renewable electricity traceable to SSE’s own wind, hydro and solar generation. For larger energy users, CPPAs can add price certainty and increase traceability.
