Last month we took part in the Future Energy System Skills Summit in Glasgow. We were thrilled to be part of discussions that will help shape the future of the energy sector as we work toward a net zero future. This event, hosted by the University of Strathclyde, gathered key players in the industry to address one of our most pressing challenges—transforming the energy skills landscape to ensure we have the right talent for the jobs of tomorrow. With a powerful keynote from Prof Sir Jim McDonald, Principal of the University of Strathclyde calling for accelerated action, the summit emphasized the importance of collaboration across education, government, and industry. The event highlighted research, sponsored by SSE plc, SP Energy Networks (SPEN), and the National Energy System Operator (NESO), that focuses on the network skills needed in Scotland. Dave McKay, Director of Asset Management and Operations at SSEN Transmission , underscored our commitment, stating: "With the expansion of the network, we have the opportunity to show people that we are creating long-lasting high-quality jobs in their communities. SSE have committed to spend £11.2bn on networks for NZAP+ and we want to find the right skills to deliver this mission.” We look forward to continuing this critical work and playing our part in building a sustainable, skilled workforce for Scotland's energy future. 🔗 You can download the report via the link in the comments below⬇️ #NetZero #EnergySkills #FutureOfWork #GlasgowSummit

⚡️ SSEN Transmission is extending the period for people in Lewis to provide feedback on the proposed new HVDC convertor station and AC substation on Arnish Moor, to 28 November.   🤝 The extension follows a pre-application consultation event held in Stornoway in September, and recognises the level of local interest and engagement in the proposals which are a key part of the proposed Western Isles HVDC link. 💡 A second event will take place in November where SSEN Transmission staff will again be on hand to share details of the proposed site location and layout, as well as visualisations and information about connections into the proposed site. We’ll share further details about the event in early November. 📣 In the meantime we invite anyone who hasn’t had the chance to submit their feedback on our proposals to do so, and contribute to this key part of the project development process. ➡️ To submit feedback and register for project updates, visit https://lnkd.in/eFXpQKVn
