Delivering a Network for Net Zero Webinar

SSEN Transmission would like to invite you to attend a webinar to hear more about why we’re delivering the Pathway to 2030 projects.

The ‘Pathway to 2030’ projects planned in the north of Scotland, are part of a major upgrade of the electricity transmission network across Great Britain. The independent Electricity System Operator (ESO) has identified that the upgrades are necessary to help meet UK and Scottish Government climate change and energy security targets, by connecting and transporting renewable electricity generation from where it is made to where it is needed. Moving to clean, renewable, and homegrown energy is key to tackling both climate change and the energy crisis and helping meet local and national heat, transport and electricity needs.

These projects are also needed to deliver UK and Scottish Government 2030 renewable energy targets and follow the publication in April 2022 of the UK Government’s British Energy Security Strategy (BESS). As the Transmission Operator for the north of Scotland, SSEN Transmission has a crucial role to play, the investments we deliver will play a vital role in helping to ensure the nation's future energy security by using affordable, home-grown, low carbon electricity, while providing significant economic and employment opportunities across the north of Scotland.

As a stakeholder-led business we work hard to meet the needs of all our stakeholders and customers and recognise that it’s vital that stakeholders understand the decisions driving these critical investments and the vital role our stakeholders play in helping shape the future transmission system.
