Insights into SSE's Energy Renewability
In 2024, SSE consumed a total of 745,776 Gigajoules of energy across its operations. Of this total, 46.82% was sourced from renewable energy, either derived from natural resources like biofuels, biomass, or biogas, or generated using renewable technologies such as solar or wind power. The remaining 53.18% was classified as non-renewable energy, coming from fossil-based fuels such as coal, natural gas, or crude oil, or from non-renewable generation technologies like nuclear power.
SSE's Energy Renewability Rate
How much of SSE's energy consumed is renewable?
In 2024, SSE consumed a total of 745,776 Gigajoules of energy, of which 46.82% was derived from renewable sources, including biofuels, biomass, biogas, solar, and wind power.
This moderate level of renewable energy adoption indicates that SSE is transitioning toward cleaner energy sources, though a significant share of its energy mix still relies on non-renewable inputs.
Are SSE's energy practices becoming more sustainable?
Since 2022, SSE's total energy consumption increased by 5.51%, but remained relatively stable in 2024, possibly indicating a plateau in energy growth.
Over the same period, the share of renewable energy increased by 23.54%, but declined by 7.93% in 2024, suggesting recent volatility or sourcing constraints.
Overall, SSE’s energy trends reveal a complex picture, with variations in total consumption and renewable sourcing. A closer examination of operational drivers and sourcing strategies is needed to fully assess the company’s environmental impact.

Insights into SSE's Energy Inflows & Self-Sufficiency
In 2024, SSE reported total energy inflows of 91.65 million Gigajoules, which corresponds to the company's full energy needs, including energy consumed, redistributed, sold, or stored. This energy inflow was composed of 745,776 Gigajoules purchased from external suppliers and 90.9 million Gigajoules generated through internal production. This corresponds to a production share of 99.19%, reflecting a 8.34% percentage point decrease from the previous year (2023) and a 2.93% percentage point increase since 2022.
SSE's production share has remained relatively consistent over time, with no significant fluctuations. This stability may indicate a deliberate sourcing strategy built on predictable supply patterns, or a balanced reliance on both internal and external energy sources.
