Managing electricity infrastructure is a core business of SSE Energy Solutions and managing them effectively is how we can make a difference for our customers. We offer partnership with owners of Private Electricity Networks to design, build, invest and operate their electricity infrastructure.

Customers who own private electricity networks can frequently find the management of this non-core activity to be more of a burden than a benefit. This however is our area of expertise – we can adopt and manage your private electricity network, taking responsibility for its network resilience and improving its energy efficiency and sustainability.

We have an excellent track record of delivering electricity networks for new and existing developments in all principal sectors of the construction market. Our Independent Electricity Network Partnerships aim to deliver solutions that bring together the diverse needs of the customer into a single unified outcome that maximises both short and long–term benefits.

SSE Energy Solutions also has a licensed IDNO business (Optimal Power Networks) for public networks. Further information on Optimal Power Networks Limited can be found here.
