Sustainably developing the energy infrastructure for Becketwell Regeneration, Derby
SSE Energy Solutions (SSEES) have been appointed by developer, St James Securities (SJS), to deliver site wide electricity infrastructure for the £200m Becketwell regeneration scheme in Derby.
This exciting and vibrant development will deliver a comprehensive new urban quarter in the heart of the city. In addition to hundreds of new homes, the development will also deliver a range of business, retail, F&B and leisure units including a state-of-the-art 3,500-capacity performance venue and multi-storey car park, all centred around a new public realm.
SSEES will design and build the high and low voltage infrastructure for all residential, commercial and electric vehicle charging connections. Michael Robertson, Sector Director commented: “We are proud to be building infrastructure that supports the transition to ‘net zero’ carbon and paving the way to enable the electrification of heat and transport.”
“We are delighted to be collaborating with SJS and wider project stakeholders on this exciting new development,” explains Noel Powell, Head of Regeneration and Development.
