SSEN planned investment in distribution assets
https://www.investegate.co.uk/sse-plc-- ... 00091709U/

Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) Distribution, a wholly owned subsidiary of SSE Plc, has today published its final business plan for RIIO-ED2. The plan includes proposals to invest around £4 billion, creating over 850 jobs over the price control period (2023-28).

SSEN Distribution plans to increase its investment by around a third in the north of Scotland and central southern England over the RIIO-ED2 period (2023-2028) to accelerate the transition to smart, flexible networks and meet the net zero challenge.

The proposed increase in investment to £3,994m will be delivered with no planned rise in distribution costs on customer energy bills, supporting a just and fair transition to net zero.[1]

Titled 'Powering communities to net zero', SSEN's business plan has been shaped by over 25,000 customer and stakeholder voices and sets out six clear goals that SSEN will deliver for customers and communities by 2028, namely to:

· Create a foundation for net zero by investing £1bn in strategic resilience across its networks

· Reduce the frequency and duration of power interruptions by 20%

· Achieve a customer satisfaction score of at least 92% in every contact area

· Support 200,000 customers in fuel poverty with targeted support and energy efficiency measures

· Facilitate the connection of 1.3m electric vehicles and 800,000 heat pumps on its network

· Cut its business carbon footprint by 35% aligned to a 1.5°C science-based target, accredited by the Science Based Targets initiative

Dogger Bank C Reaches Financial Close

SSE Renewables, together with its joint venture partner Equinor, has reached financial close on Dogger Bank C, the third phase of what will be the world's largest offshore wind farm.

The two companies are already constructing the first two phases of Dogger Bank Wind Farm, a ground-breaking project off the north east coast of England which, once all three phases are complete in March 2026, will be the largest in the world.

Total investment in Dogger Bank Wind Farm will be around £9 billion (around £3 billion for phase C including offshore transmission). SSE's share of investment forms part of its recent Net Zero Acceleration Plan, which included fully funded £12.5bn strategic capital investment plans to 2026 alongside ambitious 2031 targets, aligned with net zero and 1.5 degrees. Large scale projects like Dogger Bank C are made possible by the financial strength and shape of the SSE group with its integrated net zero infrastructure strategy.

Dogger Bank C has a capacity of 1,200MW and will generate around 6,000GWh a year. In total, Dogger Bank will produce enough clean, renewable electricity to supply 5% of the UK's demand, equivalent to powering six million UK homes. SSE is leading on construction across all three phases and Equinor will operate the wind farm thereafter.

SSE reaffirms commitment to Net Zero Acceleration Programme

On 17 November 2021, SSE announced its 'Net Zero Acceleration Programme' to accelerate sustainable, clean growth, lead the energy transition and maximise value for all stakeholders. The plans include a substantially increased, fully funded £12.5bn strategic capital investment plan to 2026 as well as ambitious targets to 2031.

The Board's evaluation of SSE's strategic review

As part of SSE's strategy review, the Board evaluated and constructively challenged a wide range of possible strategic options, across both electricity networks and SSE Renewables, including the separation of SSE Renewables. This was a rigorous and comprehensive process that involved independent financial and external legal advice, including independent testing by a third-party investment bank appointed by the Board specifically for this purpose. It was informed by constructive engagement with a broad array of shareholders and culminated in the Board's unanimous approval of the strategic plan that was presented to shareholders in November.

The Board is confident that the Net Zero Acceleration Programme represents the optimal pathway for creating long-term value for shareholders and that SSE is best positioned to capture the substantial growth opportunities arising from net zero as an integrated low-carbon electricity infrastructure company.

The Net Zero Acceleration Programme positions SSE as the UK's clean energy champion:

· doubling existing renewables capacity by 2026;

· increasing and maintaining a development pipeline in excess of 15GW and targeting a fivefold increase in renewables output by 2031;

· delivering strong investment in electricity networks with a c10% gross RAV CAGR; and

· deploying flexible energy solutions and exporting its renewables capabilities overseas.

It does so through a fully funded £12.5bn programme which is supported by ratings agencies and which delivers attractive returns to shareholders through an adjusted EPS CAGR of 5-7% and a dividend of at least £3.50 through to 2026.

Having carefully considered it among other options, the Board concluded categorically that the separation of SSE Renewables would not be the best route to maximise growth, execution and value creation for all stakeholders. Full detail on SSE's strategic review and the reasons behind this conclusion is available at the links provided below.

SSE success in ScotWind leasing round

SSE bolsters renewables pipeline with success in ScotWind seabed leasing auction

SSE Renewables and its ScotWind partners Japanese conglomerate Marubeni Corporation (Marubeni) and Danish fund management company Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP), through one of its funds, have been notified by Crown Estate Scotland that they have been successful in the ScotWind auction for new offshore wind leases in Scotland.

The partnership has been awarded the rights for 858 square kilometres of seabed to develop an offshore wind project of up to 2.6GW of capacity in the E1 area off the east coast of Scotland. SSE owns a 40% share of the development rights with Marubeni and CIP each owning 30%.

Due to the water depths of the site, floating wind technology will be deployed, making this one of the largest commercial scale floating wind farm opportunities in the world.

Success in ScotWind further demonstrates SSE's position as the leading offshore wind developer in Scotland, where the company is currently building Seagreen, which will be Scotland's largest and the deepest fixed bottom offshore wind farm in the world when completed. SSE Renewables is also developing the Berwick Bank offshore wind farm, which at up to 4.1GW will be one of the largest projects in the world when completed by the end of this decade.

SSE plc recently published its Net Zero Acceleration Programme, which included fully funded £12.5bn strategic capital investment plans to 2026 alongside ambitious 2031 targets, aligned with 1.5 degree science based targets. The plans for renewables include an increase of 4GW of renewables installed capacity (net) over the 5 years to 2026, doubling installed renewables capacity to 8GW (net). In addition, the programme includes ambitious new 2031 targets including a fivefold increase in renewables output to 50TWh, maintaining a sustained renewables pipeline in excess of 15GW, and a trebling of SSE's owned renewables capacity to over 13GW (net) from c.4GW today. The ScotWind project brings SSE's secured pipeline to around 11GW with further opportunities in development to grow this to the sustained 15GW target.

Alistair Phillips Davies, Chief Executive of SSE, said :

"We are delighted to have been successful in winning our preferred site in the highly competitive ScotWind process, which is testament to the strength of our partnership with Marubeni and CIP. Projects like these can help reduce the UK's exposure to volatile wholesale markets, keeping prices down for consumers and creating skilled jobs in the process. As demonstrated by our recent £15m investment in a new tower factory at Nigg, as a national clean energy champion we are committed to delivering the wider jobs and opportunities for Scotland that a thriving offshore wind industry can bring. This ScotWind project will also lead to billions more direct and indirect investment into the Scottish economy over its lifetime. The major increase in offshore wind through ScotWind will also drive the requirement for investment in the electricity Transmission network in the North of Scotland and demonstrates again the strong alignment between renewables and networks at the core of the SSE Group."

SSE and its partners have already invested significant funds and resources into pre-award development of the project and following acceptance of the lease Option Agreement, will continue this development with a view to submitting a timely consent application. Grid applications have already been made.

Network Options Assessment:

SSEN Transmission welcomes Networks Options Assessment £5bn+ investment recommendation

SSEN Transmission - the electricity transmission owner for the north of Scotland and part of the SSE Group, the UK's clean energy champion - welcomes today's publication by National Grid Electricity System Operator (NGESO) of this year's Networks Options Assessment (NOA), which recommends the investment of over £5bn in electricity transmission infrastructure in the north of Scotland that will be critical for maintaining a pathway to deliver the UK and Scotland's net zero commitments and renewable targets.

This year's NOA sets out the strategic reinforcements that will be required to enable the forecast growth in renewable electricity across GB. It outlines the investments needed to alleviate constraints on the transmission system by providing the large bulk-transfer capability necessary to connect and transport renewable electricity generation from remote sources to areas of demand.

The NOA recommendations for reinforcements in SSEN Transmission's network region include:

· Two subsea high-voltage direct current (HVDC) links from Peterhead to England;

· A second HVDC link from Spittal in Caithness, connecting to Peterhead;

· Strategic onshore reinforcements to the north of Inverness and between Inverness and Peterhead.

Q3 2021/22 TRADING STATEMENT

· Upgrading 2021/22 adjusted earnings per share to at least 90 pence

· Reporting early progress with SSE's Net Zero Acceleration Programme

· Announcing a refreshed set of net zero-linked business goals for 2030

This Trading Statement upgrades SSE's financial outlook for the 2021/22 financial year and sets out the Group's key strategic developments and operational performance in the quarter ended 31 December 2021.

FINANCIAL OUTLOOK

SSE is upgrading its expectations for full-year 2021/22 adjusted earnings per share to at least 90 pence from at least 83 pence. This reflects the strength and stability provided by SSE's balanced mix of regulated and market facing businesses, including good financial performance from flexible thermal and hydro plant which is more than offsetting lower than planned renewables output.

SSE intends to recommend a full-year dividend of 81p per share plus RPI for 2021/22 and continues to target an RPI linked dividend in 2022/23, followed by a rebase to 60p in 2023/24 and at least 5% increases in 2024/25 and 2025/26.

SSE remains on track to report full year 2021/22 capex in excess of £2bn. Net debt is expected to be around £9bn at 31 March 2022, assuming the proceeds from the disposal of SSE's 33.3% stake in SGN are received prior to the year-end.

STRATEGIC DELIVERY

· Transmission growth: On 31 January National Grid Electricity System Operator (NGESO) published this year's Networks Options Assessment (NOA), which indicated the need for more than £5bn of investment in electricity transmission infrastructure in the North of Scotland to maintain a pathway for net zero. These investments and the clear need to accelerate reinforcements to unlock ScotWind start to provide a clear line of sight on and tangible progress towards SSE RAV growth forecasts. SSE's Net Zero Acceleration Programme (NZAP) set out a target range for SSEN Transmission's gross RAV of £8-10bn by 2031 with a path for gross RAV to reach £12bn by 2031 in the event of an acceleration of reinforcement expenditure.

· ScotWind success: With its JV partners Marubeni and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP), SSE successfully bid for the E1 East site in the ScotWind seabed leasing auction. This was SSE's preferred site, being well located for both grid connection and transmission charges, with a potential capacity of at least 2.6GW / 1GW net. This takes SSE's current secured pipeline to around 11GW with further opportunities in development to grow this to the sustained 15GW target.

· International opportunities: SSE Renewables is set to take part in the New York Bight seabed auction on 23 February, where six leases are available. SSE also announced plans to enter bids into the upcoming tenders for the 1.4GW Hollandse Kust (west) Wind Farm Zone in the Netherlands, taking place in the first half of 2022.

· Capex progress: Good progress is being made on SSE's £12.5bn investment and capital expenditure plan. In November, financial close was reached on Dogger Bank C; and construction continues at Dogger Bank A&B offshore wind farms as well as Viking onshore wind farm. First power on Seagreen offshore wind farm is targeted for Q2 of calendar year 2022 and is expected to commence full commercial operation in January 2023.

· Flexible generation: SSE sees lower carbon, flexible generation as vital to a smooth transition to net zero. Commissioning is currently under way at SSE Thermal's high-efficiency 893MW CCGT plant at Keadby 2 and this will be followed by a performance validation period before handover in Q4 of calendar year 2022. SSE has also partnered with Equinor on two new carbon capture projects - Keadby 3 and Peterhead - which have been formally submitted to the UK Government's Cluster Sequencing Process.

· N ew leadership: Stephen Wheeler took up his post as Managing Director, SSE Renewables on 1 January 2022. Stephen has a wealth of experience in generation and renewables within SSE and he was part of the successful management team that grew the Airtricity renewable energy platform before SSE acquired it in 2008. He previously spent over 10 years working with ABB and Siemens internationally.

Thanks Ian. All of that sound encouraging and increasing the dividend by RPI should be interesting in the current climate. They have already announced the rebasing later on to cater for increases capex. WE should not reallky complain about that because unlike many companies they have a plan for capex!

You're welcome Dod. I don't mind admitting that I'm a bit of a SSE fan. Up here in Orkney they're a big fish in these parts. SSE Renewables is very popular hereabouts. I can see 11 wind turbines as I type. They're at a bit of a distance from us, so not all that off putting. It's strangely reassuring to watch the turbine blades spin. You may recall we have our own turbine at te back of our house. It's privately owned and nothing to do with SSE though.

Ian.

Well I live not that far from the SSE Head office in Perth and they are everywhere here as well. Most of the wind turbines though are owned by the usual suspects and I cannot say I like them as they despoil the hills around us but I guess whether I like it or not they are part of the future. As for SSE, I think I understand them pretty well, having been to their HO 'behind the scenes' and seen them in action more than once.

Not necessarily, most of the big wind projects will be via CFD pricing so they will just get the contracted price - the government will get anything above the contracted price.

Ah....... I see. Thanks for that. There's no spot market for wind power like there commonly is with other energy resources? I was under the impression that at least some of electrical power was bid and supplied to the grid through auctions.

I'm not quite sure how it works. They have a contract to supply a set amount of electricity from each wind farm at a gauranteed price of £x per MWh in 20xx pounds rising by RPI. As I understand it for the contracted MWhs they get that price no matter what the wholesale price is. If it's less the government makes up the difference, if the wholesale price is more the government gets the extra (all via an arm's length company).

NOTIFICATION OF CLOSED PERIOD

2021/22 adjusted earnings per share expected to be in the range of 92p to 97p
Published Net Zero Transition Plan detailing actions to achieve SSE’s net zero ambition
Received £1,286m proceeds on completion of disposal of investment in Scotia Gas Networks
SSE plc is due to publish its financial results for the year ending 31 March 2022 on 25 May 2022.

Financial outlook
Since SSE’s Q3 Trading Statement, weather conditions have meant that the shortfall in output from renewable sources has decreased from 19% below plan for the nine months to 31 December 2021, to around 12% below plan as at 22 March. At the same time, the good performance from flexible thermal and hydro plant has continued in volatile market conditions, demonstrating its value to the energy system.

In light of this, SSE is updating the market that it expects full-year 2021/22 adjusted earnings per share to be in a range of between 92 and 97 pence compared to previous guidance of at least 90 pence. SSE still intends to recommend a full-year dividend of 81p per share plus RPI for 2021/22 and continues to target an RPI linked dividend in 2022/23, followed by a rebase to 60p in 2023/24 and at least 5% increases in 2024/25 and 2025/26.

SSE also remains on track to report full-year 2021/22 capex in excess of £2bn as it continues to execute its strategic £12.5bn Net Zero Acceleration Programme, launched in November, at pace. With completion of the disposal of its investment in Scotia Gas Networks (SGN) on 22 March for cash proceeds of £1.3bn, adjusted net debt is expected to be below £9bn at 31 March 2022.

SSE's Net Zero Transition Plan
SSE has today published its Net Zero Transition Plan, following on from strong shareholder support for SSE’s proposal at its 2021 Annual General Meeting (AGM). The Plan provides SSE’s stakeholders with clarity around actions SSE intends to take to achieve a net zero ambition for its scope 1 and scope 2 emissions by 2040 (subject to security of supply requirements) and for the remaining scope 3 emissions, by 2050. Future progress against this Net Zero Transition Plan will be reported annually and summarised in a report which will be put to shareholders at SSE’s AGM each year.

Market Volatility
In response to the devastating humanitarian cost of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, SSE has donated £1m to the Disasters Emergency Committee. SSE does not have any energy supply contracts with Russian counterparties, and we are ceasing trading activities with these entities.

The war has had significant consequences for energy markets and policy, contributing to historically high and volatile prices. However, SSE has so far been served well by its prudent hedging approach and has successfully managed any increasing credit and collateral requirements. The impact of a prolonged or escalated conflict on SSE's businesses is difficult to predict. In any event, SSE benefits from the breadth of its businesses across the energy value chain which balances risk in periods of volatility and its £12.5bn net zero aligned investment programme is helping to reduce system reliance on imported gas.

New all time share price high today at SSE. Steady as she goes. Present energy market and SSE strategy of big investment into non hydrocarbon generation looks fortuitous. I wish they'd get on with the long time stalled pumped storage hydro project in Scotland though. The grid desperately needs very large scale energy storage and the need gets ever more desperate as the renewables generation grows on the grid.

SSE acquires SGRE onshore wind platform.

SSE acquires European onshore wind platform from Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy

· Transaction marks SSE's entry into Southern Europe and brings a c.3.9GW portfolio of onshore wind development projects across Spain, France, Italy and Greece.

· Builds platform for SSE's growth in Europe where it aims to progress a balanced portfolio of assets across wind, solar, batteries and hydrogen technologies.

SSE Renewables has entered into an agreement with Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy (SGRE) to acquire its existing European renewable energy development platform for a consideration of €580m[1].

The SGRE portfolio includes c.3.9GW of onshore wind development projects - around half of which is located in Spain with the remainder across France, Italy and Greece - with scope for up to 1GW of additional co-located solar development opportunities. SSE will also take on a team of around 40 employees with vast experience in the sector.

The transaction is likely to complete by the end of September 2022, subject to receipt of relevant foreign direct investment and regulatory approvals. The transaction does not require SSE shareholders' approval.

The acquisition marks SSE's entry into Southern Europe, building on its successful renewables business in the UK and Ireland where it owns and operates 4GW of renewable assets, including nearly 2GW of onshore wind, with a secured pipeline of nearly 11GW across onshore wind, offshore wind and hydro projects.

The addition of the SGRE platform is highly complementary to SSE's strategic objectives and is consistent with the SSE Group's Net Zero Acceleration Programme (NZAP), which outlines fully funded £12.5bn capital investment plans to 2026 alongside ambitious 2031 targets, aligned with 1.5 degree science based targets.

SSE acquires European onshore wind platform from Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy

· Transaction marks SSE's entry into Southern Europe and brings a c.3.9GW portfolio of onshore wind development projects across Spain, France, Italy and Greece.

· Builds platform for SSE's growth in Europe where it aims to progress a balanced portfolio of assets across wind, solar, batteries and hydrogen technologies.

SSE Renewables has entered into an agreement with Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy (SGRE) to acquire its existing European renewable energy development platform for a consideration of €580m[1].

The SGRE portfolio includes c.3.9GW of onshore wind development projects - around half of which is located in Spain with the remainder across France, Italy and Greece - with scope for up to 1GW of additional co-located solar development opportunities. SSE will also take on a team of around 40 employees with vast experience in the sector.

The transaction is likely to complete by the end of September 2022, subject to receipt of relevant foreign direct investment and regulatory approvals. The transaction does not require SSE shareholders' approval.

The acquisition marks SSE's entry into Southern Europe, building on its successful renewables business in the UK and Ireland where it owns and operates 4GW of renewable assets, including nearly 2GW of onshore wind, with a secured pipeline of nearly 11GW across onshore wind, offshore wind and hydro projects.

The addition of the SGRE platform is highly complementary to SSE's strategic objectives and is consistent with the SSE Group's Net Zero Acceleration Programme (NZAP), which outlines fully funded £12.5bn capital investment plans to 2026 alongside ambitious 2031 targets, aligned with 1.5 degree science based targets.

Thanks. It's exactly the kind of stuff I decided to buy into SSE for.

You’re welcome Bulldog. I’m of the same mind as you. I bought into SSE four times two years ago. I like the company ethos and their renewables plans are big pluses for me. In fact, we get our power from SSE Renewables where we live in Orkney.
