Throwing it back for #ScottishApprenticeshipWeek! βͺ
Check out these archive pictures of Dundee-based Craft Apprentices from 1961!
What a blast from the past, and a reminder of how much our safety standards have evolved over the years! π·π·ββοΈ
The Power from the Glens art exhibition explores how art, architecture and engineering shaped Scotlandβs energy future. Featuring original drawings from SSEβs earliest hydro schemes, it offers a rare glimpse into the vision behind Scotlandβs glens.

Please exercise extreme caution if you are contacted in Papua New Guinea by individuals or organisations claiming or implying that they are part of an SSE investment platform.
They are not connected with SSE plc in any way and appear to be running a scam.
Almost Β£350,000 has been awarded to 25 projects across the Highlands, Western Isles, Argyll, Perthshire, Angus, Aberdeen City, Shetland and Aberdeenshire as part of our Powering Communities to Net Zero Fund π
This year, we celebrate ten years of our Safety Family. ππ
Aimed at helping everyone get home safely, our Safety Family programme is built on clear, simple, and shared language that everyone can understand, regardless of their role.
We are investing in homegrown power, transforming the grid and supporting thousands of jobs so that electricity is cleaner, more secure and more affordable in the long term. β‘
Could Britain solely produce its own power? π
Generating more energy at home means fewer global shocks, more stability, and a secure energy future.
How are parts of a transmission tower assembled?
Bobby, Head of Operations at Had Fab Ltd, shows us how plates and beams are put together to form the basis of a tower that will play an important part in the Transmission network.

32 local projects across Hampshire, Wiltshire, Dorset, Oxfordshire, West Sussex, Berkshire and the Isle of Wight have been awarded a share of almost Β£345,000 through our Powering Communities to Net Zero fund π
In a world of digital dominance, advanced technology, and emerging AI tools, it is hard to believe that just over 40 years ago our teams were working with specially trained dogs to help pinpoint faults on πΆunderground electricity cables in the distribution network.

How does power actually get to your house? β‘
Itβs not magic, itβs the grid!
And upgrading it means renewable energy can flow better, cutting waste and making your connection more reliable.
Considering an apprenticeship with SSE? During our 'LearnerFest' induction for our 2025 intake of apprentices, Richard Crozier, Academic & Quality Lead (Electrical) at Fife College, gave us his view on why the apprenticeship programme is one of the best in the UK.
#NationalApprenticeshipWeek is the perfect moment to take your first step into the energy sector. Our apprenticeships and trainee roles give you real experience, practical skills, and the chance to earn while you learn. π·π

ICYMI π SSEN Transmission has awarded NKT a Β£2bn contract to deliver 525kV HVDC links from the Western Isles to the mainland and from Spittal to Peterhead, helping move more renewable power to where it is needed, supporting the energy transition and delivering real local benefits #EnergyTransition
βIf itβs not safe, we donβt do it.β β
Our ambition is to continuously improve the health and safety of our employees and partners and to take care of the environment we all live and work in. Since launching in 2016, Safety Family has cut serious incidents by two-thirds. π€
We've applied to the Scottish Government to increase the height of 15 turbines at Bhlaraidh Wind Farm Extension. This could boost the site's renewable energy output to 216MW, combined with the existing 108MW capacity. β‘
SSEN Transmission has hit a key milestone in its Spittal to Peterhead subsea cable project, with enabling works now underway. π οΈ
The link will secure renewable energy flow to demand centres, supporting clean power goals and local business opportunities in Scotland. β‘
With a major transformation for growth underway, Jason, an apprentice working at Had-Fab tells us what securing a major contract to fabricate steel towers which will connect green energy generators to the grid means for the company π·ββοΈ
At Peterhead Power Station in Scotland, flexible thermal generation is playing a critical role in keeping a renewables-led system in balance. With around 1180 MW of capacity, Peterhead can power over a million homes when the system needs it most, for as many hours, days or weeks as required... πΉ
π’ Momentum continues behind the delivery of our five-year, Β£33bn Transformation for Growth investment plan as we publish our Q3 Trading Statement.

SSE's Health and Well-being team routinely carry out health checks across the company to a wide range of colleagues.
Hear more from Nadya Kuhl, Head of Occupational Health and Well-being at SSE, on what these checks entail, at an event welcoming a new set of apprentices to the company.
New clean electricity is coming online, but its value depends on delivery β‘. By easing constraints across the network, renewable power can flow freely to homes and businesses, cutting waste, improving reliability and helping manage costs. This work is already underway.

Several construction vehicles and scattered equipment are visible among the gravel and dirt paths. A row of parked vehicles lines a small road on the right, with grassy terrain bordering the site.
A landscape with large steel pylons supporting power lines stretches across a grassy, hilly area. In the background, wind turbines are visible on the horizon. The foreground shows construction equipment around the base of a pylon. A small forest is nearby, and the sky is overcast.

Powering Progress in Argyll β‘οΈ
We're continuing to connect renewable energy generators, like wind farms, to the grid via new overhead line towers which will mean more capacity for transporting cleaner energy from where is it generated to where it will be used.
