This episode of Red Box is brought to you in association with SSE, a leading clean energy champion,

accelerating the transition to net zero.

SSE is investing over 9 million pounds a day in cleaner, more secure home-grown energy.

That includes transforming networks across the country to connect renewable energy, households and businesses to a greener grid.

Pioneering low-carbon flexible technologies such as carbon capture and storage and

and building the world's largest offshore wind farm at Dogger Bank off the coast of Yorkshire.

When complete, Dogger Bank will be capable of powering over 6 million homes a year with clean renewable energy a major step towards the UK

achieving net zero carbon emissions and all this is creating thousands of

sustainable green jobs in communities right across the UK.
