SSE’s electricity distribution business, SSEN Distribution, published its £4.1bn draft business plan for powering communities to net zero in a smart and fair way. Within this plan, which will be submitted to the UK energy regulator in December 2021 following refinement, SSEN Distribution has committed to facilitating the roll-out of low-carbon infrastructure such as heat pumps and EVs, and supporting 200,000 customers in vulnerable situations with targeted fuel poverty, personal resilience or energy efficiency measures.
SSEN Distribution already works with a number of partners, to support customers. For example, through the network of member partners such as National Energy Action and Energy Action Scotland, SSEN helped over 3,700 customers save money and stay warm in 2020 and 2021. To facilitate access to Low Carbon Technologies, SSEN Distribution has also committed to build partnerships and provide additional support through a £1.25m company-funded accessibility fund.
