📢 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

Did you know that our heritage spans almost 80 years? 💭 To the advent of electricity generation in the North of Scotland. And to the creation of the Southern Electricity Board in 1948, to distribute and supply electricity in southern England Image: A third year Craft Apprentice Meter Tester

Last month, we sponsored Reading Pride, with many colleagues going along 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

Could you work with us? 🤝 Weather, access, and landowner support are some of our biggest challenges. We don’t enforce — we collaborate to keep people and nature safe.

Why boots on the ground matter Cameras can’t catch everything — hidden cavities, wildlife, risks. That’s why on-site inspections are key for safety and smart decision-making. ⚠️🔍

What is a distribution network? 💭 It's the last step in getting electricity to your home. Power travels from generation sites like wind farms, through high voltage lines ⚡ Then voltage is reduced and electricity is delivered to homes via the distribution network 🏠 #Electricity #PowerExplained

💧 Powering the future with hydro ⚡ We're proud to operate the largest fleet of hydroelectric power assets in Scotland, a legacy that began 80 years ago with the 1943 Hydro-Electric Development Act. Find out more: https://www.sserenewables.com/hydro/

The big annual cut 🌳✂️ Surveyors check trees to keep growth out of safety zones. Some cuts clear up to 4 meters — all to protect the network and prevent outages. It’s about safety and community understanding.

How we build YOUR career ⚡ Apprentices get top training, great gear, and real hands-on experience. Many go from tree cutting to linework — it’s a solid path into the industry.

What is an electricity transmission network? 💭 It's the energy world's 'motorway,' moving high voltage electricity from sources like wind farms to lower voltage local networks. Then, it's distributed to the homes and businesses where it's needed 🏠 #Electricity #PowerExplained

♀️ Women in Power – Building Careers ↗️ Female leadership is still underrepresented—especially in energy. Our #WomenInPower campaign highlights inspiring stories like Christianna Logan’s 18-year journey at SSE and shows women the many paths to grow and lead. Let’s make power more equal. 💪

Fewer power cuts. £1.9M saved. Real impact. ⚡🌳 Tree work cut outages by 20% and saved £1.9M in faults last year. Customers feel it — and so does the bottom line.

Walked 9,500 miles for this job 🌲🚶‍♂️ From surveying thousands of miles to clearing 42,000 spans — that’s 2,000 miles of power lines made safe last year alone. The scale of this work? Massive. ⚡️
