IES Utility Solutions is delighted to announce its successful appointment by Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) Distribution to deliver upgrades to its overhead line networks across all distribution voltages in the Aberdeenshire part of its north of Scotland network area.
This latest contract award further strengthens the ongoing partnership between IES Utility Solutions and SSEN Distribution, reinforcing a shared commitment to delivering resilient, high-quality, and reliable electricity infrastructure across the north of Scotland.
The scope of the contract includes the construction, refurbishment, and maintenance of overhead line distribution infrastructure. This will further improve the reliability and resilience of SSEN’s network, while also increasing its capacity. This is crucial as more people and businesses adopt low-carbon technologies like heat pumps, solar panels and EV chargers, to help cut their carbon emissions and monthly energy bills. The physical upgrading of the overhead network will also make it more robust in the face of Scotland’s increasingly-volatile climate.
Conor O’Neill, Power Director at IES Utility Solutions, commented: “We are thrilled to continue our work with SSEN Distribution and further build our relationship together. This opportunity reflects our team’s strong work ethic and dedication to delivering high-quality, reliable connections. We’re excited to work alongside SSEN’s team to support the continued strengthening and resilience of its north of Scotland network.”
