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, a doggar bank off the coast of Yorkshire. When complete, doggar bank will

be capable of powering over 6 million homes a year with clean renewable energy, a major step

towards the UK 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
