Together with other members, the association works with policymakers, public sector agencies, regulators, and other key stakeholders to ensure that road transport delivers environmental, social and economic benefits to everyone. BVRLA members are leading the charge to decarbonise road transport and are set to register 400,000 new battery electric cars and vans per year by 2025 in line with SSE Energy Solutions ambitions to deliver 500+EV Hubs in the UK.

The Solent Cluster represents an incredible opportunity for local communities, the region, and the UK, and can effect real change in sustainable energy production and consumption.

We will play a fundamental role in the world’s fight against climate change, supporting the UK in reaching net zero emissions by 2050.

Why join The Solent Cluster?

SSE Energy Solutions and SSE Thermal joined The Solent Cluster to facilitate the development of low-carbon electricity infrastructure in the South of England.

The Solent Cluster provides an opportunity for SSE Energy Solutions to invest in region-specific activities, supporting business retention and growth and helping to attract new business to the locality. SSE Energy Solutions is also keen to ensure local communities benefit from its activity in the area, with benefits such as access to EV charging, job creation, education and re-skilling for new roles in the sector. SSE Energy Solutions is looking forward to collaborating with Cluster members, from large energy users to businesses and local community organisations, working together toward shared goals.

SSE Thermal believes that low-carbon flexible power will be crucial in complementing a renewables-led power system in the transition to Net Zero, supporting decarbonisation and ensuring security of supply. SSE Thermal recognises the need for low-carbon dispatchable power across the UK in order to reach a decarbonised power system by 2035. Futureproofing infrastructure in the South of England through technologies such as hydrogen and carbon capture would allow flexible power stations in the region to continue to provide flexible generation in a Net Zero world.
