ICYMI - Ground officially broken on a game-changing hydrogen milestone! Work has begun on the expansion of a gas turbine test facility, which will significantly advance the development of hydrogen-fuelled turbines – which could power millions of homes and businesses, including those in the UK.

What are heat networks? 💭 Heat networks harness sustainable heat sources, providing a resilient, low-carbon alternative to traditional heating systems. They offer a smarter, cleaner, and more secure way to power communities, today and for generations to come 💚 #HeatNetworks #PowerExplained

ICYMI - Ireland’s newest onshore wind farm! We have officially powered up the Yellow River Wind Farm in Rhode, Co. Offaly. With 29 turbines generating 101MW of clean energy, it’s now supplying enough homegrown electricity to power nearly 75,000 homes annually 🏡

We’re making the necessary line modifications and constructing substations to realise the full potential of the Inveraray - Crossaig 275kV Overhead Line project.⚡️ These works will help unlock more capacity of the transmission network, enabling new renewable projects to connect to the grid.

🎉We recently welcomed our one millionth visitor to Pitlochry Dam Visitor Centre 🎉 Local couple Niel and Margo Haggart received a VIP Tummel Scheme Tour and lunch for two to mark this amazing milestone. Read more⬇️

⚡ Ireland’s clean energy future is powering up; from offshore wind to smarter grids. But ambition needs action. Our CFO Barry O’Regan lays out the bold moves driving Ireland’s energy transformation in his latest blog in @irishtimes.com. 🔗 Read the blog:https://shorturl.at/TFdz6

📢 #ICYMI A landmark moment for clean energy in the UK The Planning Inspectorate has accepted the Development Consent Order for Keadby Next Generation, a pioneering hydrogen-ready power station we're developing in partnership with Equinor. 🔗https://shorturl.at/51M0F

How we hit net zero faster: By 2030, SSE will cut carbon intensity by 80%, enable 20GW+ of renewables, and support millions of EVs & heat pumps. This isn’t the future — it’s happening now. 🌍⚡

We are scaling renewables to 9GW by 2027. With 2,000 experts driving innovation, we’re powering a greener future today. ⚡🌍

#ICYMI: We sponsored Reading Pride, with many colleagues joining in to celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community. 🌈 The day featured a parade, live entertainment, and family-friendly activities; a truly joyful event promoting equality, inclusion, and togetherness.

💧 Hydro power uses moving water to generate renewable electricity. At SSE we harness it through storage, pumped storage & run of river. With 60 stations, hydro is an essential part of Britain’s net zero future. ⚡🌍

With the Northern Ireland Assembly back from recess this week, our SSE Ireland Chairman, Mark Ennis, writes in The Irish News about why delivering electricity grid infrastructure, including the long-overdue North-South Interconnector, must be a top priority. 🔗https://lnkd.in/4G0r4+

🚜 The energy was electric at #Ploughing2025 in Screggan, Co. Offaly! This week, the SSE team was at the annual Ploughing event, chatting with political leaders, industry voices, and local communities about how we’re powering Ireland’s future. ⚡

Drone spots hidden power line fault after a storm! After hours searching on foot, the downed wire was finally revealed deep in boggy land. A quick flight along the line saved us a long, tough trek. 🚁🌧️

Powering the future with hydrogen at Ferrybridge 🌍 We've officially launched our Statutory Consultation for the proposed Ferrybridge Next Generation Power Station, a bold step toward a cleaner, more flexible energy future. 💬 We're inviting communities and stakeholders to help shape the project.

Happy Inclusion Week! At SSE, inclusion & diversity isn’t a one-week event; it’s woven into everything we do. Our ‘Belonging in SSE’ communities, led by employees and backed by leadership, help us drive real change and foster a culture where everyone feels they belong. #InclusionWeek

Last week’s Business of Leading the Energy Transition event brought together leaders from energy, finance & govt to accelerate the UK’s clean energy future. ✅ Decarbonisation pathways ✅ Unlocking investment & delivery ✅ Cross-sector collaboration

HOW we CREATE power! SSE’s integrated strategy—networks, renewables + flexibility—is powering energy security & net zero. 💨 The Dogger Bank offshore wind project is a shining example of clean, reliable power at scale.

Storage hydroelectric (impounded power) involves water stored in a loch or reservoir higher than the power station it supplies. The 'head' is the height difference; a higher head boosts turbine energy and electricity output ⚡ Water levels are managed to protect the environment 💧 #PowerExplained

🌊💨 Fun fact: Offshore wind turbines can float! Unlike fixed-bottom turbines that need to be anchored into the seabed, floating turbines are held in place with mooring lines, meaning they can be installed in super deep waters where the wind is even stronger ⚡️

How do we fight terrain? 🌧️🌿🥾 Wet, overgrown ground turns every job into a mission. Navigating rough conditions is the norm — but we’re always dreaming of clear, open paths.

What is pumped storage hydro? 💭 It's renewable energy using water to generate electricity⚡ Two water bodies at different heights: water is pumped up when power demand is low and released to create energy when needed 💚 #Hydro #Renewables #CleanEnergy #PowerExplained

👩‍🌾 Stay safe during harvest season! Our 'Look out, Look up' safety campaign includes a reminder of the risks of working near the electricity network and provides advice on what to do if you are in danger. Stay aware and protect yourself #FarmSafety
