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

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.

The provisional results of the latest T-4 capacity auction in Great Britain were published on Tuesday 21 February, with a total of 43,000MW in capacity contracts awarded to capacity market units at an auction clearing price of £63/kW.

We may be only a handful of days into the new year but time is already running short. For the UK to deliver on its net zero ambition, the next 12 months can either pave the way for crucial final investment decisions to be made in 2024 or result in that capital moving elsewhere.
