SSE Renewables is a leading British-Irish developer and operator of onshore and offshore wind farms, hydropower plants and energy storage.

We are part of the listed holding company SSE, which has virtually all the technology and experience relevant to the energy transition: ranging from battery energy storage and hydrogen production, to hydroelectric plants and wind farms.

We develop, build and operate renewable energy projects – including onshore and offshore wind farms, hydropower plants and energy storage.

We are currently building more offshore wind energy than any other company in the world. One of our projects is the world’s largest offshore wind park, Dogger Bank. The Dogger Bank Wind Park will generate 3,6GW of energy in the North Sea. We’re also building the deepest offshore wind farms, Seagreen, which is set to produce 1.1 GW of energy off the Scottish coast.

SSE Renewables manages 4GW of onshore and offshore wind and hydro energy in the UK and Ireland. With this, we produce around 10 terawatt hours (TWh) of renewable energy annually, which equates to the energy supply of 4 million households..

SSE Renewables aims to build a strong and stable position in the Netherlands as a developer and operator of offshore wind farms. We see opportunities in the ambitious Dutch plans for the energy transition and offshore wind energy. In the Dutch part of the North Sea, there is a lot of capacity to develop wind energy.

SSE Renewables and pension fund ABP are working together within the Noordzeker coalition to tender for the construction of an offshore wind farm off the coast of IJmuiden.

The IJmuiden Ver wind energy area (IJVER) is located in the North Sea, some 62 km off the Dutch coast. It will house the the Netherlands's largest offshore wind farm, which is expected to supply power from 2029.

We aim to achieve 'Biodiversity Net Gain' for all our projects. This means ensuring that biodiversity in the area where we work is in a better condition than we found it. In support of this goal, we are developing a method of using AI to measure biodiversity at sea. We also have a 10-point action plan to protect and where possible increase biodiversity in the construction of all our projects.

In the Netherlands, together with ABP, we recently joined forces with Naturalis to protect marine biodiversity. For more information, see the news page.
