Our Partners

SSE Energy Solutions is part of SSE plc – the UK and Ireland’s biggest producer of renewable electricity. That comes with responsibility.

We work hard to live up to that responsibility. We enable businesses of all sizes to power real change. That might be switching energy supply to 100% renewable electricity straight from our UK wind farms or providing advice on practical energy solutions for businesses. Our technology helps businesses grow more sustainably and play a part in the UK’s drive toward net zero.

We specialise in offering simple, affordable ways for all businesses to cut their carbon footprint – but not their productivity.

SSE is investing in a more resilient and sustainable energy system and infrastructure that can provide a cleaner, stable foundation for businesses.
