SSE has reported significant growth in renewable energy output, reflecting strong performance from wind and solar generation across its portfolio. According to the latest results, renewables now make up a growing share of SSE’s total electricity production as the company shifts its focus more toward clean power deployment and less toward fossil fuel generation.

The increase in renewable output comes as SSE continues to invest in wind farms and solar assets, supported by favourable wind conditions and expanded capacity from recently completed projects. The company has highlighted that these developments have contributed to both higher generation volumes and more stable production profiles compared with previous years.

Wind and Solar Lead the Growth

SSE’s wind portfolio, including onshore and offshore assets, has been a key driver of the output rise. Strong wind speeds and improved turbine uptime have boosted generation, while newly commissioned wind farms have added fresh capacity to the company’s mix. Solar power has also played an important role, with favourable weather and expanded deployment lifting its contribution.

The company noted that overall electricity output from renewables was up compared with the prior period. This follows wider trends in the UK and Europe where renewable generation is growing in both absolute terms and as a share of total supply.

A Strong Renewable Sector Backdrop

Across the UK and global markets, renewable energy continues to grow strongly amid supportive policy frameworks, increased corporate commitment to net zero, and greater investment in clean technology. Offshore wind, in particular, is attracting significant capital as government auctions and supply chain programmes support larger scale deployment.

Despite some challenges in the energy market, including cost pressures and supply chain issues, SSE’s results demonstrate that renewables can deliver consistent generation and long term value when backed by robust planning and operations.

What This Means for the Workforce

At LSP Renewables, we see this rise in renewables output as a positive indicator for skills demand and sector momentum. Growth in wind and solar capacity means continued need for professionals in project development, technical operations, engineering, asset management and commercial roles.

As companies expand their renewables portfolios, they will require talent who can support delivery, operation and optimisation of clean energy platforms. From early stage development through to long term operations and maintenance, the demand for skilled individuals is set to increase.

LSP Renewables Perspective

SSE’s renewables performance highlights the resilience and potential of clean energy markets in the UK and beyond. Organisations that invest in renewables are not only contributing to clean power targets but also driving employment and supply chain activity across regions.

If your organisation is preparing for growth, planning new projects or building renewable energy capability, LSP Renewables can help. We support companies with workforce planning, hiring strategies and placement of skilled professionals across wind and solar sectors.
