What is the SSEN Transmission Regional Fund?

SSEN Transmission has created the Regional Fund as part of its community benefit commitment from its investment in Transmission infrastructure across its network area in the north of Scotland. The aim of this funding is to bring positive benefits and a long-lasting legacy to communities across the north of Scotland. The fund reflects SSEN Transmission’s planned £20bn investment in the transmission network by 2030.

Who can apply to the fund?

If your project benefits communities located within the SSEN Transmission network area, you may be eligible to apply for our Regional Fund. Our network area covers the same parts of Scotland as our sister-business, SSEN Distribution. You can provide your post code on the Energy Networks Association website to check which network area you reside in.

You don’t have to be a registered charity to apply, but your organisation must have a constitution and not be set up for individual profit. We anticipate that the regional projects will be of higher value and have a greater transformational impact which may cover several regions within our network area.

Separate local funds will be established solely for communities who are situated close to new infrastructure and more information on these funds will be provided soon.Our Regional Community Fund – SSEN Transmission (ssen-transmission.co.uk)
