This episode of Red Box is brought to you in association with SSE,

a leading clean energy champion, accelerating the transition to net zero.

SSE is investing over £9 million a day in cleaner, more secure, homegrown energy.

That includes transforming networks across the country to connect renewable energy,

households and businesses to a greener grid, pioneering low carbon flexible technologies,

such as carbon capture and storage, and building the world's largest offshore wind farm,

achieving net zero carbon emissions. And all this is creating thousands of sustainable green jobs

in communities right across the UK. Find out more about what SSE are doing at SSE.com slash change.
