More than 1,000 homes linked to 20bn green energy grid expected to be built in Highlands
Briefly

SSEN Transmission plans to invest £20bn to construct over 1,000 new homes in northern Scotland, aiming to bolster local economies and meet green energy targets.
The investment aims to provide long-lease tenancies for new affordable homes, specifically designed for local people, addressing a pressing affordable housing crisis in rural areas.
Amid criticism over limited benefits from renewable energy projects, this initiative is seen as a novel solution to enhance community welfare while achieving decarbonisation goals.
By 2030, SSEN aims to channel energy from new windfarms, generating thousands of jobs and refurbishing existing unoccupied homes, supporting struggling depopulated areas.
