Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN), operating under licence as Scottish Hydro Electric Power Distribution (SHEPD), welcomes today's announcement from Ofgem regarding future energy arrangements for Shetland.
As part of its decision-making process and following recent changes to legislation, Ofgem sought assurances from SSEN on its ability to ensure security of supply can be maintained until 2025. SSEN has confirmed that, subject to necessary investment in Lerwick Power Station and utilisation of additional measures, this requirement can be met.
In line with its responsibilities as Distribution System Operator (DSO), SSEN will continue to work constructively with Ofgem to deliver an enduring and reliable energy solution for Shetland.
