• Regulatory Alignment: Working closely with Ofgem to ensure the regulatory framework supports long-term investment.
SSEN believes that by adopting a strategic approach and embracing flexibility, it can deliver a reliable and efficient electricity network that supports the UK's transition to a low-carbon future.
