It’s increasingly important to know how the electricity supplied to you is generated. With growing pressure to reduce your carbon footprint and meet your sustainability targets, knowing the source of your energy is key to making informed decisions for your business. It also allows you to be transparent with your customers, employees and stakeholders, establishing your reputation as a reliable and responsible business.

About our fuel mix
At SSE Energy Solutions, our fuel mix is the combination of energy sources used to generate electricity for business customers.
From April 2023 to March 2024, our fuel mix was 64% renewable. Customers on one of our renewable plans or tariffs were supplied with 100% renewable electricity from the grid, which was generated from our own wind farms and hydro plants. Our renewable electricity is backed by Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin (REGOs) and independently verified by EcoAct, ensuring the highest standards of environmental integrity. As a result, customers can confidently report zero carbon emissions for their electricity consumption.1
