SSE has welcomed that the Scottish Government is prioritising clean energy transition and the need for record private sector investment, in their Vision for Scotland prospectus.

A spokesperson for SSE said: "We welcome the emphasis in the First Minister's Vision for Scotland on prioritising the clean energy transition and the need for record private sector investment in low-carbon technologies such as onshore and offshore wind, hydro, electricity networks, carbon capture and hydrogen.

"As Scotland's largest electricity infrastructure company, and the first company in the world to publish a Just Transition Strategy, SSE stands ready to play our part with a potential £15bn investment programme for Scotland this decade that will support thousands of jobs, build local supply chains and accelerate progress towards net zero.

"But we want to go further, faster and look forward to working with the Scottish Government on how to turn its vision into tangible actions that can accelerate this transition and unlock more investment."
