Hvad de gør
SSE Renewables specialiserer sig i udvikling, ejerskab og drift af vedvarende energianlæg, med primært fokus på land- og havvindmølleparker samt vandkraftproduktion. Virksomheden er en nøglespiller i den vedvarende energisektor, med en betydelig vægt på at udvide sine kapaciteter inden for nye teknologier som batterilagring og brint. SSE Renewables opererer inden for SSE plcs bredere ramme for lavkulstofinfrastruktur, som inkluderer omfattende eltransmissions- og distributionsnet, der strækker sig over næsten 132.000 km og betjener ca. 3,8 millioner kunder (kilde: en.wikipedia.org). Virksomheden har et stærkt engagement i bæredygtighed og sigter mod at tackle klimakrisen gennem storskala vedvarende projekter.
Projekter & Resultater
SSE Renewables har en imponerende portefølje af afsluttede projekter, herunder den 504MW Greater Gabbard havvindmøllepark, som blev færdiggjort i 2012 ud for kysten af Suffolk, England, og den 588MW Beatrice havvindmøllepark, som blev operationel i 2019 ud for Caithness, Skotland. Virksomheden har også udviklet den 100MW Glendoe vandkraftordning nær Fort Augustus, Skotland, færdiggjort i 2009, og Clyde vindmølleparken, som var operationel i 2013, hvilket gjorde SSE til den største landvindmølleproducent i Storbritannien og Irland på det tidspunkt. Derudover er den 72MW Meentycat vindmøllepark i Irland bemærkelsesværdig for at levere 100% vedvarende elektricitet (kilde: sserenewables.com). Virksomheden er i øjeblikket engageret i store projekter som den 1.1GW Seagreen havvindmøllepark, som begyndte konstruktionen i 2020 og forventes færdiggjort i 2023.
Seneste Udviklinger
I juni 2023 offentliggjorde SSE Renewables en brochure, der fejrer 20 år med havvind, og fremhæver betydningsfulde milepæle fra Arklow Bank-projektet i 2003 til den igangværende konstruktion af Seagreen-projektet og udviklingen af Dogger Bank-projektet, som er på vej til at blive verdens største havvindprojekt. I 2023 investerede SSE plc £2,3 milliarder i vedvarende aktiver, herunder vind og sol, og opnåede en samlet vedvarende kapacitet på 4,7GW, hvor SSE Renewables bidrog med 4,9GW pr. marts 2023 (kilde: sserenewables.com). Virksomheden har forpligtet sig til at investere £24 milliarder over det næste årti for yderligere at forbedre sine hav- og landvindkapaciteter.
At Arbejde Der
SSE Renewables tilbyder en række roller på tværs af sine operationer, herunder stillinger inden for udvikling af vedvarende energi, ingeniørarbejde og kundeservice. Virksomheden opererer fra nøglelokationer som sit hovedkontor i Perth, Skotland, og forskellige projektsteder, herunder Cromarty Firth og Nigg, hvor der foregår betydelige byggeaktiviteter for projekter som Beatrice og Seagreen. Virksomhedskulturen lægger vægt på bæredygtighed og samfundsengagement, med initiativer som Sustainable Development Fund, der blev lanceret i 2013/14 for at støtte lokale samfund nær vedvarende projekter (kilde: sseheritage.com). SSE Renewables tilbyder også træningsmuligheder, især på sit træningscenter i Dundee, for at sikre, at medarbejderne er godt rustet til det udviklende energilandskab.
