Building a better world
As the electricity transmission owner for the north of Scotland, SSEN Transmission has a crucial role to play in delivering energy security and net zero targets for Scotland and the UK by developing, building, maintaining and operating a network for net zero.
SSEN Transmission’s projects will play a critical role in enabling the transition to a low-carbon economy by establishing the necessary transmission infrastructure to transport renewable energy from the north of Scotland to demand centres across the country. These projects will help to unlock the vast potential of the north of Scotland to meet the UK and Scottish Government's 2030 targets enhancing grid capacity and playing a vital role in ensuring the country's future energy security. This will enable home-grown and affordable energy to reach and power homes across the country.
