    Construction begins at Tarbert Next Generation Power Station 🚧⚡ We’re proud to announce that full construction is now underway at our Tarbert Next Generation Power Station in Co. Kerry, a landmark €300m project and the first of its kind in Ireland to run on sustainable biofuels. ✔️ Capacity: 300MW of flexible, reliable generation ✔️ Jobs: 200 construction roles at peak, 14 permanent roles on completion ✔️ Sustainability: Powered by Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) from waste feedstocks, aligned with EU RED II standards ✔️ Future-ready: Designed for hydrogen conversion to support Ireland’s long-term climate goals This milestone marks the next chapter in Tarbert’s proud energy history, following the decommissioning of the original oil-fired plant in 2023 after more than 50 years of service. Together with our partners Ansaldo Energia and Atlantic Projects Company, we’re delivering cutting-edge infrastructure that strengthens Ireland’s security of supply and supports a renewables-led electricity system.

    Fair pay. Secure hours. Strong pensions. This Living Wage Week, we’re proud to reflect on our journey with the Living Wage Foundation. From becoming Living Wage accredited in 2013, to securing Living Hours in 2021, and Living Pensions in 2023, we are one of the first large companies to adopt all three. Higher incomes, stronger retirement security, and a more resilient workforce. It’s good for our people, and it’s good for business. 🔗 Read more from John Stewart, our Director of HR ⬇️

    Celebrating Green Careers Week 🌍💚 At SSE, we believe the journey to net zero must be fair, inclusive, and full of opportunity. That’s why we’re proud to be the first company in the world to publish a Just Transition Strategy, a bold step to ensure workers in high-carbon industries are supported as they move into low-carbon careers. In 2021, we backed this up with a clear set of commitments to help make that transition real, equitable, and lasting. Green Careers Week is a powerful reminder that climate action and career growth can go hand in hand. Let’s build a future where sustainability creates opportunity for everyone.

  • 📢Ground officially broken on a game-changing hydrogen milestone! Work has begun on the expansion of a gas turbine test facility, which will significantly advance the development of hydrogen-fuelled turbines – which could power millions of homes and businesses, including those in the UK. 💡 Why it matters: - Hydrogen offers clean, flexible backup for renewables - It strengthens energy security and reduces reliance on fossil fuels - It creates skilled jobs and drives industrial innovation Testing begins in autumn 2026, but the impact will be felt for decades. 🗣️UK Government Minister for Energy, Michael Shanks MP, said: “Hydrogen-fired power stations have the potential not only to cut emissions, but will help get us off the rollercoaster of international fossil fuel markets while supporting good, skilled jobs in the industries of the future. “SSE plc, Siemens Energy and Equinor’s partnership takes us a step closer to this reality, with hydrogen playing an important role in our future energy mix as we move to clean power.” Department for Energy Security and Net Zero #MissionH2Power #HydrogenEnergy #NetZero #CleanPower #EnergyTransition #UKEnergy #GreenTech

    📢 A landmark moment for clean energy in the UK The Planning Inspectorate has accepted the Development Consent Order for Keadby Next Generation, a pioneering hydrogen-ready power station we're developing in partnership with Equinor. This marks the first time a hydrogen-fired power station, such as this, has reached this stage in the DCO process. A huge step forward for the energy transition. 🔋 Designed to operate using hydrogen, natural gas, or a blend of the two until a viable hydrogen supply becomes available, the 900MW facility could be operational by 2030 - providing reliable backup capacity in a renewables-led grid and supporting the decarbonisation of carbon-intensive sectors. 📍 Strategically located in the Humber, the project is poised to: - Drive inward investment - Safeguard and create high-quality jobs (800+ during construction) - Support the UK’s emerging hydrogen economy 🌱 From coal to carbon capture and hydrogen, our Keadby site continues to evolve, leading the way in low-carbon innovation and energy security.

    📢 We're excited to see our plans for the Ferrybridge Next Generation Power Station featured by BBC News and Yorkshire Post. This hydrogen-capable facility, proposed for the historic Ferrybridge C site in West Yorkshire, marks a bold step toward a cleaner, more flexible energy future. With the potential to power over one million homes, it’s designed to run on 100% hydrogen and support the UK’s transition to low-carbon energy. We’re proud of our legacy at Ferrybridge and committed to working closely with the local community as we shape the next chapter. Public consultation is now underway, and we’re listening. 🔗 Read the full stories online using the links in the comments below

    Happy Inclusion Week! At SSE, inclusion and diversity (I&D) isn't about one week a year; it's about embedding I&D into everything we do. We believe a diverse and inclusive workforce is essential for success. It drives innovation, creativity, and collaboration. It fosters belonging, attracts top talent, strengthens connections, and reflects our commitment to being inclusive. One way we do this is with our ‘Belonging in SSE’ communities. They’re led by employees and regularly meet with their sponsors from our Executive Committee to discuss progress and opportunities to move forward with their action plans.
