Equinor and SSE Thermal have today unveiled plans to jointly develop two first-of-a-kind, low-carbon power stations in the UK’s Humber region.

SSE Thermal’s plans to deliver the UK’s first power stations equipped with carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology took a major step forward today as two vital low-carbon infrastructure projects secured government funding.

Stephen Wheeler, Managing Director of SSE Thermal, explains why the Humber, the UK’s largest industrial region, must be central to our climate action strategy.

The results of the latest T-4 Capacity Auction in Ireland have now been confirmed by the Regulatory Authorities, with SSE Thermal securing contracts for all units that participated.

SSE Thermal is pleased to confirm all its generation units that participated in the T-4 Capacity Auction in Ireland have provisionally secured contracts for the delivery year 2024/25.
