What They Do

ScottishPower is a vertically integrated energy company that operates as the distribution network operator for Central and Southern Scotland, Merseyside, North Wales, and parts of Cheshire and Shropshire. The company supplies electricity and gas to homes and businesses across the United Kingdom and generates power for the grid (source: wikipedia.org). Its core technology focus includes wind energy, solar power, grid upgrades, battery storage, and low-carbon hydrogen, having transitioned to generating 100% green electricity by divesting its coal and gas assets (source: wikipedia.org). ScottishPower's product offerings encompass renewable generation from 38 onshore wind farms and over 40 operational sites producing more than 3 GW of total capacity, alongside services like smart grids, EV charging, heat pumps, and solar solutions for businesses (source: scottishpower.co.uk).

Projects & Track Record

ScottishPower has completed several notable projects, including the Whitelee onshore wind farm, which is Europe's largest at 539 MW, featuring 215 turbines and a 50 MW battery (source: wikipedia.org). The company also repowered Scotland's first commercial wind farm, Hagshaw Hill, which was brought back online in November 2025 to increase output and community benefits (source: scottishpowerrenewables.com). Ongoing major projects include the East Anglia ONE and East Anglia THREE offshore wind farms, as well as the Wikinger offshore project in the German Baltic Sea (source: cisco.com).

Iberdrola announced a significant £24 billion investment in the UK by 2028, focusing on renewables and grid resilience (source: energyadvicehub.org). Additionally, ScottishPower Renewables is set to invest nearly £3 billion in offshore and onshore wind and solar projects from 2023 to 2025 (source: cisco.com).
