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

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