Our low-carbon
vision for the UK's
transition to net zero

A first-of-a-kind green energy project from SSE Thermal in the Humber has received significant backing from the UK Government through its Net Zero Hydrogen Fund.

SSE Thermal and Equinor can confirm that its Keadby 3 Carbon Capture Power Station in North Lincolnshire has not been taken forward to the final stage of the UK Government’s Cluster Sequencing Process. We expect it will now have further opportunities in the planned Track 1 expansion process.

The most efficient gas-fired power station in Europe has now officially entered commercial operations following a four-and-a-half year construction programme. SSE Thermal’s Keadby 2 Power Station in North Lincolnshire has an efficiency of around 63 per cent, making it the most efficient plant of its type in the UK and Europe - and one of the most efficient in the world.

SSE Thermal is calling on government to turbocharge the delivery of low-carbon technologies to help deliver a net zero power system by 2035.

SSE Thermal is exploring options to develop two new low-carbon power stations in Ireland which would help to protect security of supply and provide flexible backup to renewable generation.
