SSEN Transmission plays a critical role in the transition to a low carbon future, developing, building, maintaining and operating a network for net zero. Vital to net zero ambitions it transports huge quantities of clean, green renewable power over a quarter of the UK land mass across some of its most challenging terrains. With the region home to some of the UK’s greatest resources of renewable power, the business has a critical role to play in the transition to a low-carbon future, connecting up more renewable energy and transporting it across the country.

From the deep waters of the North Sea to the high mountains of the Highlands, the power from onshore and offshore wind farms, hydropower stations and other generation assets is moved across a vast network of underground and sub-sea cables, overhead lines, wooden poles and steel towers to millions across the UK. This system supports both the UK and Scottish Governments' net zero emissions targets whilst meeting the needs and expectations of stakeholders.
