SSE Energy Solutions announce a three site partnership with Wilton Developments
SSE Energy Solutions are pleased to announce that they have been appointed by Wilton Developments to deliver energy infrastructure for three of its forthcoming strategic Industrial & Logistics developments in the North of England; LEEDS500 adjacent the M1 east of Leeds, DoncasterNorth at J6 of the M18 and Dynamo Park at Stockton on Tees.
The partnership will include the design and construction of grid connected electrical infrastructure, providing power to around five million sq ft of Industrial and Logistics space. The largest of the three sites, DoncasterNorth, will include one of the UK’s largest available single unit consents in MILLI+ at 1.15 Million sq ft. Once complete, the networks will be operated by SSE’s Independent Distribution Network Operator (IDNO), Optimal Power Networks.
Prior to the appointment SSE Energy Solutions worked closely with Wilton to help navigate the challenge and complexities of the grid, while ensuring a flexible technical and commercial proposition was developed. During the construction phases the partnership will explore how to support the wider sustainability targets for the sites, working to deliver an optimised energy system for Wilton and its occupiers.
One of the key considerations for major I&L schemes, in addition to planning delivery, is power availability. We have worked hard along side SSE Energy Solutions to formulate a robust and flexible solution for our future occupiers. It will give our prospective occupiers great comfort that a power solution has been formulated and is deliverable. We have been impressed with SSE Energy Solutions’ approach and we are very pleased to have them on board on these important projects to the Northern Powerhouse.
We are proud to have been chosen by Wilton Developments to collaborate on these exciting projects. Whilst our immediate priority will be bringing power to the sites, our solution architects will work with the project team to integrate other energy solutions in line with our strategy of producing net zero networks.
We are very pleased to have been appointed as the IDNO on these three sites. We are looking forward to working closely with Wilton Developments and SSE Energy Solutions now and into the future, supporting their ambitions for growth and decarbonisation.
