The £3.6bn of capital expenditure in 2025/26 prioritised strengthening the UK's electricity networks, enabling greater electrification, and measures designed to help reduce customer bills over time. This spend forms part of SSE's £33bn five-year programme to 2030, with a primary emphasis on expanding and reinforcing the electricity network in the north of Scotland.

SSE also highlights its wider contribution, including support for the UK and Ireland's clean-energy goals, the economic value it creates, the communities it serves and its workforce—underlining its role in long-term, sustainable growth.

Together, the Annual Report and Sustainability Report reaffirm SSE's commitment to investing in infrastructure that delivers tangible benefits for customers while supporting society and the environment.
