We own one electricity transmission network and two electricity distribution networks, comprising 106,000 substations and 130,000 km of overhead lines and underground cables across one third of the UK.

SSE is a FTSE 100 company and one of the largest and most respected energy companies in the UK. As well as being involved in the generation, transmission, distribution and supply of electricity, SSE has interests in energy trading, energy services, gas storage, the distribution and supply of gas, electrical and utility contracting and telecoms.

We promise to achieve certain performance standards which are backed by a guarantee. They were established by the Electricity (Standards of Performance) Regulations 2005 and were extended in 2010.

Electricity is something we all take for granted. We are taught from an early age that electricity can be dangerous, but it’s sometimes easy to forget this, particularly when the hazards it presents are not immediately visible or obvious.

Ofgem's decision means we can now focus on delivering our £1.1bn capital investment programme to upgrade the transmission network in the north of Scotland.

Following consultation with key stakeholders, we have updated our  Business Plan for our transmission business and submitted it to Ofgem.

If you are considering the installation of generation to operate on our network then we can help.

Scottish and Southern Energy Power Distribution is committed to communication and engagement with customers and stakeholders who are affected by developments in electricity distribution and transmission.
