Carbon capture has a critical role to play in delivering a clean power system - and the Green Industrial Partnership announced between the UK and Norway can help to accelerate its deployment, boosting economic growth and supporting a just transition.

Have you ever wondered what it looks like to see a project build from start to finish ?   Our Slough Multifuel facility has the capability to process around 480,000 tonnes of residual waste each year and convert this into a valuable source of energy♻️   The project was a joint partnership with Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners and developed by Hitachi Zosen Inova and entered commercial operations earlier this year.     Check out our video below! 📽️

The UK Government has published a new Clean Power Action Plan to protect households and boost the economic growth of clean energy. The plan is welcomed, especially as it aims to unlock £40billion of investment a year in clean power. But we need to act now. To deliver a cleaner, more secure power system for Britain we urgently need to get building clean energy infrastructure on an unprecedented scale. This will require a bolder and more decisive approach from the Government and from regulatory bodies to remove the barriers to development and to back the technologies we need. Today’s plan provides important further clarity on how this will be done, and the pace at which it has been developed is particularly welcome. We need this urgency to continue. With £40bn of capital investment needed per year, the key thing now is to help derisk that investment in order to minimise costs. We look forward to seeing further clarity over the coming months on market design in particular, where we continue to urge government to rule out zonal pricing as soon as possible to remove the associated risks and sharpen the focus on what really counts – delivering mission-critical infrastructure, boosting energy security and driving economic growth. 🔗 To read SSE plc's full response head to the link in the comments below 👇 Department for Energy Security and Net Zero #CleanPowerActionPlan

Mission accepted. We know hydrogen can play a key role in delivering a clean power system - but its deployment needs to be accelerated. That's why we've partnered with Siemens Energy on Mission H2 Power - a collaboration which aims to deliver gas turbine technology capable of running on 100% hydrogen by 2030, fuelling the transition to net zero.

What does ~£50m a week of investment look like?💭 Our half-year results show that we invested £1.3bn in the last six months alone. £1.3bn in building the mission critical infrastructure that will help deliver clean power.

It's #GreenCareersWeek and #LivingWageWeek 👩💼👨🏭👷♀️🧑🔧 A green career can be any job, role or occupation that contributes to preserving or restoring the environment and our planet. It can be any industry, not just those seen as ‘green.’ Green skills are abilities, attributes, values, attitudes, knowledge, and technical skills needed to adapt services, processes and procedures to support climate change. At SSE we're investing billions into creating a homegrown energy system that is cheaper, cleaner and more secure. We're recruiting thousands of roles to help support the clean energy transition. Looking after our colleagues and supply chain during the clean energy transition isn't just a nice-to-have for us at SSE, it is essential. This is why we've been a #LivingWage employer for 11 years and are also a #LivingHours and #LivingPension employer. We're recruiting thousands of green living wage, pension and hours jobs that will help drive the energy transition.
