The Resilience as a Service (RaaS) project seeks to avoid carbon intensive standby generation while supporting network reliability and resilience

That’s the suggestion from network operator SSEN, which has published a new report outlining a number of policy recommendations to ensure the UK’s network infrastructure is prepared to go carbon-neutral

The approval was based on the Viking Energy Wind Farm securing subsidies through the UK Government’s Contracts for Difference auction last month

The electricity network operator says homes and businesses across the Scottish region will benefit from a stronger, more resilient power network

The approval for SSEN to develop the 220MW power link is subject to conditions

The project is a partnership between the Scottish Government and network companies including SP Energy Networks and SSEN

Material from the demolition struck the overhead electricity network, which led to the power outage between 7am and 8.20am on Sunday

Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks says along with price incentives and better consumer engagement, this could slash emissions and costs associated with energy

The support provided will include energy efficiency advice, referrals to the Warm Home Discount Scheme, supplier switching advice as well as benefits checks
