SSE will continue to play a leading role in community investment across Scotland in 2026, building on a landmark moment in 2025 when the company marked over £80 million distributed to Scottish communities through renewable energy funds over the last two decades.

SSE has completed the second phase of its Hydro Community Fund, further strengthening the positive impact already created through the initiative.

SSE is celebrating 75 years of operation at Sloy Power Station, one of Scotland’s most iconic hydro schemes and the UK’s largest conventional hydroelectric power station. 

Energy company SSE reached a major milestone on Thursday 16 October by welcoming their millionth visitor to Pitlochry Dam Visitor Centre. It showcases the rich history of hydroelectricity in the north of Scotland and displays artefacts showing the electrical appliances that transformed our lives.
