SSE Renewables
About
The renewables arm of SSE plc, a company domiciled in Scotland whose other businesses are economically regulated electricity transmission and distribution networks, flexible thermal generation in the UK and Ireland, and energy supply to business and residential customers. Its offshore wind farms are held in partnership: 40% of Beatrice and of Dogger Bank A to C, 49% of Seagreen beside TotalEnergies and PTTEP, 50% of Greater Gabbard, and 40% of the Ossian ScotWind seabed. That spreads construction risk but leaves it with less capacity per project than the headline numbers suggest. Berwick Bank, consented in July 2025 for up to 4.1GW off the Scottish coast, it holds outright through wholly owned subsidiaries. Outside Great Britain it is seeking planning consent for Arklow Bank Wind Park 2 off Ireland.
