The five-year collaboration will involve delivering sustainable heating solutions and fostering wider economic benefits, including job creation and skills training in the green energy sector. Heat remains a core challenge in the UK’s net-zero ambitions, accounting for 37% of national CO2 emissions. By 2050, heat networks are expected to meet 20% of the country’s heating needs.
Under the new agreement, Stoke-on-Trent and SSE will also explore renewable energy projects, electric vehicle charging infrastructure and innovative heat technologies to boost local clean energy production. Councillor Finlay Gordon-McCusker emphasised that SSE is committed to developing local skills and suppliers for milestone projects, cementing the council’s commitment to the green energy industry.
Nathan Sanders, Managing Director of SSE Energy Solutions, said the partnership combines SSE’s sustainable energy expertise with the council’s in-depth knowledge of local needs, laying a foundation for Stoke-on-Trent’s energy transition. The collaboration aligns with SSE’s wider plans to invest £20.5bn in clean energy infrastructure by 2027.
