We are responsible for around 130,000km of power cables, distributing electricity to 3.5 million homes, offices and businesses in the north of Scotland and central, southern England.

Thank you to all our customers in Kintyre, Arran and Islay for your patience, understanding and support whilst our teams worked in treacherous conditions to restore power supplies following the high winds and heavy snow on 22 and 23 March 2013.

In an emergency dial 999 and ask for the police. They will contact the electrical distribution company responsible for the network in your area.

We welcome enquiries from professional journalists and provide a 24-hour service for urgent enquiries.

We provide thousands of new connections to our networks every year. We are here to help whether you are building your home, constructing a major development, or want to connect a generator.

Scottish Hydro Electric Transmission plc is the licensed Transmission Owner in the north of Scotland. As a result of increased demand from developers to connect their generation to the transmission network we are investing over £1 billion to upgrade the network.

We want to keep our customers and stakeholders updated on how we run our transmission and distribution networks.

We also want you to have your say on our business plans and any significant changes in the energy industry.
