SSE Renewables has unveiled a new leadership team and operating model designed to set the business to drive the energy transition in the decade ahead. Under the new model coming into effect today, 1 April 2022, SSE Renewables will now operate under a new technology-based structure, with distinct directorates for Offshore and Onshore Europe.
These new directorates will have end-to-end accountability for the development, construction, and operation of SSE Renewables assets. The company’s new directorates will be complemented by a new Strategy & Route to Market directorate as well as a new Business Development directorate. The Strategy & Route to Market directorate will focus on recommending where the business will operate in order to success, taking energy output to market, and the area of Power-to-X and green hydrogen. Business Development will be the company’s growth engine responsible for competitive bids and M&A activity and will be fully focused on growing and maintaining a pipeline of projects to meet the company’s goals. SSE Renewables will be investing £12.5bn over the next five years to deliver a Net Zero Acceleration Programme. The company plans to double its installed renewable energy capacity to 8GW by 2026 and has a target to treble capacity to over 13GW by 2031.
