SSE has welcomed the "encouraging business investment" in the Chancellor's Autumn Statement.

Commenting on behalf of the energy giant, SSE Chief Executive, Alistair Phillips-Davies, said: "As one of the biggest investors in the UK, we welcome the Chancellor's focus on encouraging business investment, speeding up the time it takes to build major projects and looking at how communities hosting clean energy infrastructure receive tangible benefits. We look forward to seeing further details of today's announcements and working with communities and policymakers across the political spectrum to build the cleaner, cheaper and more secure energy system we all want to see."
