Scottish Hydro
Since 1947, Scottish Hydro has been providing Scotland customers with energy services. In 1998, the merger with Southern Electric changed the name to Scottish Southern Electric, or SSE. As one of the “big six” energy suppliers today, SSE currently supplies energy services to more than eight million customers in Britain. The company is also the largest developer of sustainable energy in the UK. With over 1450 MW of hydro generation as well as 840 MW of wind capacity, the company currently has more on and offshore facilities in development.
The team at Scottish Hydro (SSE) has focused on six core values to provide excellent services to customers; these six values include:
