Power purchase agreements

As one of the UK and Ireland’s leading generators of renewable energy and electricity network companies in the UK, sustainability and climate action are at the core of our business strategy.

SSE is not only one of Britain’s biggest generators of zero-carbon electricity, but also one of the largest renewable electricity off-takers in the country, through both equity-owned generation and capacity under PPA contracts.

With one of the UK’s largest renewable energy portfolios, we have specialised in renewable power supply and power offtake agreements for more than 20 years, offering competitive PPAs for power producers, plant operators, project developers and investors.

Are you planning to build a new asset and looking to secure the financing with a power purchase agreement? We can make it possible. Find out more about our PPA offer.
