The use of electricity is constantly changing, and at Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks we are dedicated to preparing our network for the future and ensuring the electricity infrastructure is evolving. 

We believe that three main themes will drive the need for innovation: value and choice for customers; the need for flexibility in Great Britain’s low carbon transition; and the need to realise the full value of existing innovative solutions.

The Future Networks and Innovation team develops and delivers innovation projects for our networks businesses. Our projects aim for more effective and efficient ways of providing energy for all customers.

We have now launched a dedicated site for our innovation projects. Please click here to view the new site.

Our teams identify opportunities to develop and trial innovative technologies, practices and commercial arrangements. Innovation provides the potential to improve our business and benefit our customers.
