From transformers to turbines, monopiles to maintenance contracts, every aspect of the energy supply chain is benefiting. Over 550 companies, large and small, have won contracts this year to-date, with much more to come, as the company continues its £12bn investment programme through to 2028.
The announcement comes as the UK Government outlined its plans to accelerate investment in the electricity sector, with planning reforms designed to spur economic growth and enhance energy security.

Keith Anderson, ScottishPower CEO, said: "The energy sector is one of the UK's biggest growth drivers and we've injected over £2bn into the economy over the first six months of this year. This shows how businesses big and small, right across the supply chain, can benefit from the country's clean power mission.
"These contracts and investments mean jobs and an economic boost for Britain, alongside the very important role of delivering the modern electricity system needed for the future.
"We've seen a solid financial performance in the first half of the year, driven by our long-term investments in the clean energy assets Britain needs to deliver energy security and affordable power for decades to come.
"Our investment strategy is closely aligned with the UK's ambitions to be a clean energy superpower and we continue to progress our high-quality project pipeline across grids, renewables and clean energy technologies.
"With £12bn to invest to 2028, we're delivering jobs, delivering supply chain contracts and helping deliver the economic prosperity the UK needs to get growing again."
