SSEN Transmission has accepted Ofgem’s Final Determination for the RIIO-T3 price control, covering April 2026 to March 2031, describing the package as both investable and deliverable. The settlement underpins the company’s ability to fund critical grid upgrades at a time of heightened focus on clean, secure and affordable electricity for UK households and businesses.
Backed by this regulatory framework, SSEN Transmission plans to push ahead with 11 major transmission reinforcements aimed at easing grid bottlenecks, reducing reliance on imported energy and bolstering energy security. With 75% of major planning consents already secured, six schemes fully consented and five in construction, the operator will focus on obtaining the remaining approvals this year while working closely with Ofgem, government and stakeholders to deliver long-term economic and energy benefits.

SSE plc will redeem in full its £600 million sterling-denominated capital securities on 14 April 2026 under the issuer’s call option, repaying principal together with accrued and unpaid interest and any arrears up to, but excluding, the redemption date. Following settlement of the redemption, the securities will be delisted from the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority and removed from trading on the main market of the London Stock Exchange, simplifying SSE’s capital structure and retiring this specific instrument.
The move reflects SSE’s active management of its funding profile and hybrid capital instruments, which can influence its cost of capital and financial flexibility as it continues to invest in regulated networks and renewables. Holders of the securities will receive full repayment in line with the terms, after which no further interest will accrue, bringing this tranche of hybrid-style capital to a close and marginally altering the company’s mix of equity-like and debt-like funding.

The announcement adds to market transparency requirements around insider transactions but does not itself signal any stated change in SSE’s strategic direction or operations.

SSE has secured a 20-year UK Contracts for Difference agreement for 1.4GW of low-carbon power from Phase B of its Berwick Bank offshore wind farm, locking in a strike price of £89.49/MWh (in 2024 prices, indexed to CPI) for 1,380MW of capacity. The award allows SSE to move Berwick Bank B towards a final investment decision expected in 2027, while leaving the A and C phases—bringing the full project to 4.1GW—for future auction rounds. If fully built, Berwick Bank would rank among the world’s largest offshore wind projects and represent a major contribution to UK and Scottish offshore wind targets, strengthening SSE’s role in delivering large-scale renewable capacity and long-term value for consumers, society and shareholders.
