Green energy for Scotland and the UK

At Scottish and Southern Energy we believe that green energy is the best way forward to serve your needs and the needs of the planet. From this vision of UK energy we have developed into the UK's largest generator of renewable electricity** - and we're looking to expand this all the time. We've built the UK's first deep water wind turbine in the Moray Firth, we're building the UK's first hydro-electric power station in 50 years. We're always looking for new ways to harness the power of the UK's weather to develop cleaner, more sustainable, environmentally friendly ways of producing electricity.
