✍️ We've entered into a Capacity Reservation Agreement with Sumitomo Electric Industries and Van Oord for the supply and installation of a second 525kV HVDC cable link between Shetland and the Scottish mainland, known as the Shetland 2 HVDC Link. 🏗️The signing of the CRA marks a significant new for Scotland and the UK, with planned cable manufacture for the project to be delivered from Sumitomo’s new state of the art manufacturing facility, which is currently under construction in Nigg, in the northeast of Scotland ➡️ Find out more:

⚡️Our Rothienorman substation is now helping to deliver long-term grid stability with the energisation of Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners and Welsh Power’s synchronous condenser. This cutting-edge technology provides inertia - a stabilising force traditionally supplied by fossil fuels - to keep the grid secure as we help deliver more renewable power in support of national clean energy and energy security ambitions. 👏At SSEN Transmission, we’re proud to support projects like this that reduce reliance on fossil fuels and help build a cleaner, more reliable electricity network. ➡️ Read more:

⚡️ We were delighted to welcome @murdo_fraser to our Perth headquarters this morning where we discussed the future growth plans at SSEN Transmission and the major jobs boost that growth will bring to local and national economies, including in Perth where we now employ around 700 people. Thanks for taking the time to visit, Murdo.

🗒️ Our principal contractor, @balfourbeatty, has submitted a Proposal of Application Notice (PAN) outlining the temporary development area for worker accommodation required for the construction of a proposed new overhead power line in Skye. ⚡️This facility will support construction work on the proposed Skye Reinforcement Project, replacing the overhead line from Skye to Fort Augustus which is essential for ensuring local #EnergySecurity and advancing national #CleanEnergy goals. ➡️ Find out more about the proposal:

💻 Join us to hear about our ambitious blueprint to unlock the unprecedented levels of investment required to help achieve UK and Scottish Government climate change and energy security targets. Our plans will support the pathway to net zero emissions and the UK Government’s Clean Power by 2030 policy. Our comprehensive plan, recently submitted to Ofgem, aims to deliver over £22 billion of critical grid infrastructure, with the potential for an additional £9.4 billion investment through future Uncertainty Mechanism expenditure, totalling around £31.7 billion. Our Plan is underpinned by three ambitious goals: ⚡ Reliable Energy, with an ambition for zero interruptions in electricity supply to homes and businesses due to the north of Scotland transmission network. 🌿 Clean Power, with the north of Scotland transmission network having the capability to meet 20% of GB demand for clean power. 🫂 Our Legacy, to drive investments in the energy transition that delivers transformative lasting benefits for local communities, the economy and nature. In addition, economic analysis forecasts that this investment will also provide significant job creation, community benefit funding, economic growth and at least 1,000 new homes in the north of the Scotland. ➡️ You can read the plan in full here: 💻 Webinar Details: 🗓️ Monday 27 January 2025 🕐 2.00 to 3.00 pm 💻 Platform: Microsoft Teams - Please ensure you have the latest version of Microsoft Teams downloaded to your desktop to access the session. ❗ Registration for the event closes at on 22 January at 5pm. ➡️ Register here:

🌐 How can AI enable the development of Net Zero infrastructure? Our Product Owner, Shaun Hodge, will be presenting at the final ADViCE webinar in collaboration with @EnergySysCat, on how innovative AI solutions are helping to address the challenges of building and connecting the infrastructure needed to meet #NetZero. Joined by speakers from @continuum_ind and the @energynetworks, we will showcase how SSEN Transmission is leveraging AI to quickly analyse stakeholder feedback. We'll also share useful lessons from this innovative project and how it supports our broader efforts to accelerate the development of critical grid infrastructure.

🚛 Check out this video of two new transformers to our Errochty Grid Supply Point on the move! 💡The two 90MVA transformers have been safely delivered to the Errochty site near Tummel Bridge, marking a major milestone in the Errochty Grid Supply Point upgrade. 👷‍♀️ The delivery was a complex operation which took months in planning, involving close coordination with @PoliceScotland, Local Authorities and @transcotland, with specialist haulier JB Rawcliffe & Sons Ltd safely transporting the transformers on 12-axle trailers. 🔋 These transformers will enhance the site’s capacity and reliability, enabling more renewable energy from the nearby Tummel Hydro Power Station to flow into the grid. This upgrade will extend the site, install new switchgear, and create a new Grid Supply Point (GSP) to meet growing demand. 👏 A huge thank you to all involved in delivering this key piece towards the project as we work to deliver clean power and reliable electricity network.
