In this episode of the Clean Energy Pod, powered by SSE, we talk to our Chief Executive, Alistair Phillips-Davies about what it’s like to run one of Europe’s biggest electricity infrastructure companies. Alistair shares:
• what made him an early mover in clean energy
• which clean energy technologies and trends are inevitable
• why he decided to sell the UK domestic supply business
• how the business decides on who and where to invest billions of pounds
• what policy makers need to do to speed up the clean energy transition
This recording took place during our full year financial results announcement in May 2024. Alistair also talks about how the company performed in financial year 2023/24. And perhaps more importantly, how SSE is investing more than £20 billion by 2027, and much more than that in the years to come.
