‘A day marked by reflection, bold ambition, and a shared sense of purpose'

I attended the Highlands & Islands Green Energy Conference in Inverness as a panellist for the session Powering the Future: Scaling Up Renewables and Strengthening the Grid. The event provided a great platform to share insights into our system's legacy, celebrate recent milestones, and discuss our future plans as we deliver a network for net-zero. As the custodian of our business's power systems analysis capabilities, I was immediately put at ease by the panel chair's opening remark about 'embracing the unashamedly nerdy.' While I suspect this was aimed at the policy and reform discussions ahead, I took it as full permission to dive deep into system planning references. It was a day marked by reflection, bold ambition, and a shared sense of purpose as we collectively navigate the complexities of the energy transition. One message stood out clearly –the Highlands and Islands are not merely a backdrop for green energy, they are central to its success. For SSEN Transmission, this is evident in the scale of investment already delivered in the region, including the Caithness-Moray-Shetland HVDC link. Looking ahead, major projects such as the Spittal–Peterhead HVDC and the onshore 400kV reinforcements are progressing as part of our Accelerated Strategic Transmission Investment (ASTI) plan. Christianna Logan, SSEN Transmission's director of customers and stakeholders, joined the morning panel discussion Progress & Achievements in Green Energy in the Highlands. She highlighted SSEN Transmission's recent milestones in the region, including the energisation of the Shetland Link, enabling the connection of the high-yielding Viking Wind Farm. Christianna also spoke about our new strategic spares warehouse at Dalcross, and the deployment of innovative technologies such as mobile substations and dynamic line rating. We also heard from Sumitomo on their investments at Nigg and their commitment to local supply chains, the Scottish National Investment Bank on the tension between ambition and certainty, the Highland Council on their social value charter and planning consents, and from Highlands and Islands Enterprise on the scale of opportunity. During my panel, I shared how, as power systems engineers, we routinely engage with the legacy of past decisions, working with network models that include assets dating back more than half a century. On these foundations, we layer investment plans that shape the grid of the future. This is not simply a suite of individual projects; it is the ongoing engineering of a power system that must be both technically robust and strategically transformative. Our work bridges generations of infrastructure, ensuring we develop a system that is deeply integrated with policy, people and place. The scale and ambition for renewable energy in the region is now visible to all. When overlaid with SSEN Transmission's ambitious investment plans to further strengthen the grid, it's clear that the Highlands and Islands are exceptionally well positioned to play a leading role in helping the country meet its clean power targets. Connections reform is often central to any discussion around grid capacity, and it was no exception during my panel session. The legacy 'first-come, first-served' approach has led to the 'contractual' sterilisation of both current and future system capacity, locking up grid access. Too often, this is interpreted as the system being at full capacity, implying that no renewable growth can be accommodated. But this blanket interpretation overlooks important system specific context and technical nuance. We're optimistic that the implementation of connections reform and queue management will shift the model to a 'First Ready and Needed, First Connected' approach. This will not only increase the effective utilisation of the system but also provide clearer signals for targeted regional investment. I communicated that we are now entering the implementation phase of Connections Reform and preparing to re-assess and re-issue connection offers in line with the newly formed National Energy System Operator's queues structured around the protections, project readiness, and strategic alignment criteria. The Strategic Spatial Energy Plan will also play a pivotal role in identifying and co-ordinating system need. We continue to work closely with the operator as we refine our insights and energy system modelling to inform our 2035 regional network plans. As I left Inverness, I felt a heightened awareness of just how interconnected our work across technologies, geographies, and communities has become with an increased sense of urgency and importance of cumulative decisions.

Sustainable future for the Highlands

At The Scotsman's Green Energy Conference, I had the privilege of sharing a message that has been four years in the making. Backed by extensive community consultation and comprehensive mapping work, a vision was presented that not only captures the challenges facing our region, but also the extraordinary opportunities ahead. Our work to date – a collaboration with over 200 ambassadors from across the Highlands and 11 green energy developers – has involved deep analysis of green energy developments as well as third sector activity, cultural heritage, the natural environment, and the tourism landscape. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad We've also looked at areas facing significant deprivation, where the gap between potential and opportunity is far too wide. The message was clear – if we are to harness the full benefits of the energy transition, we must rethink how we allocate resources. Community benefit funds, often too narrowly distributed or short-term in scope, must be used more strategically. Our communities deserve a long-term legacy, not just a temporary boost. This principle lies at the heart of Highland CIC's mission – to position the Highlands as a global exemplar in sustainable development. The conference was a key moment to talk about what our partnership has accomplished over the past four years, bringing together voices from across the Highlands and across sectors. We are immensely grateful to our partners and sponsors for their investment, expertise and commitment to our shared vision. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The scale of what lies ahead cannot be overstated. According to Highlands and Islands Enterprise, the region is poised to see around £100 billion in economic investment. This is a 'once in many lifetimes' opportunity to shape the future of The Highlands, but it must be done right, it must be a just transition. We are calling on all stakeholders – developers, public agencies, community organisations, and policymakers – to come together in a strategic collaboration that works together to prioritise sustainable development goals for the Highlands and an aligned investment strategy. The Highlands have always been a place of resilience, innovation and pride. Now we have the opportunity to lead by example, demonstrating how rural and remote communities can thrive in a net-zero future while preserving the natural and cultural assets that make our region so unique.

The Highlands & Islands Green Energy Conference, part of the Sustainable Scotland Green Series 2025 from The Scotsman, was held recently in Inverness, placing the spotlight on the country's renewables targets and ambitions. The live event on 22 May delivered a packed agenda of discussion on challenges and opportunities faced by Scotland in the green energy transition. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Headline sponsor of the conference was SSEN Transmission, keynote sponsor was Fred Olsen Renewables, and associate sponsor was Vattenfall. There were a number of panel sessions and keynotes across the day, covering such areas as financing and investment in green energy projects in the Highlands; unlocking the economic potential of renewable energy; powering the future: scaling up renewables and strengthening the grid, as well as green skills and education. The event was hosted by Willie Cameron, founding director of the Cobbs group of companies and a board member at Highland CIC. Starting proceedings, he said: 'I've had the privilege of dedicating much of my life to championing the Highlands of Scotland, its people, its landscapes and its future –from tourism and heritage, to business and now to green energy. My mission has always been the same – to help this extraordinary place thrive in a way that respects its roots and embraces the road ahead. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'As an ambassador for international trade for many years, I've been proud to help showcase the Highlands to the world, not only as a destination rich in history and hospitality, but increasingly as a hub for innovation in green energy. 'Our region has a deep and proud heritage of hydroelectric power with pioneering projects dating back over a century. That legacy inspires my vision for what comes next, because we are not starting from scratch. We are building on a foundation laid by those who understood that energy, when harnessed thoughtfully, could transform lives and communities. Cameron continued: 'Today we stand at the dawn of a new chapter. The Highlands are on the cusp of greatness. The winds that sweep across our glens, the tides that move through our locks and coasts, the sun that shines over our straths, these are not just features of our landscapes, they are the fuels of our future 'But if we are truly to realise that future, we must do it 'the Highland way', with integrity, collaboration and a deep respect for the land that sustains us. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'Sustainable development is not just a buzzword, it's a responsibility. And it's an opportunity to create green jobs for our young people, to support rural communities, to keep our schools, our businesses and our culture alive.' Cameron concluded: 'Let us move forward with ambition, let us be bold, let us continue to position the Highlands as a world leader in green innovation, rooted in our history, powered by our landscape and driven by our people.' In the keynote address, Martin Johnson, director of strategy and regional economy at Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE), took delegates through some recently published research focusing on regional transformation opportunities. He explained that various bodies, such as local authorities, HIE and Skills Development Scotland, are all working in the renewable energy space and other sectors. They all knew they were looking at something very big, but nobody had an aggregate picture of 'what did big look like'. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Therefore through the Regional Economic Partnership (REP), which in the Highlands and Islands is made up of the likes of its university, HIE, Prosper, and local authorities, a piece of work was commissioned to help unlock the potential that exists in the area. It focused on sectors believed to have the opportunity to be regionally transformational, such as green hydrogen, onshore and offshore wind and marine energy. Johnson said: 'We identified roughly 250 projects at different stages from that list of sectors. If all those projects come to pass, we're looking at something like the private sector investing £100 billion of capital expenditure in our region over the next 15 years. That will add about £77bn to the Scotland and UK economy. 'During the development, construction and the implementation stages of these projects, we're looking at 100,000 or so 'job years'. At its peak, we reckon the build-out of these projects will require 16,000 people working to make that happen. 'Once these projects get to a steady state and become operational, we'll be adding about 18,000 full-time jobs to the economy.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Breaking down investment by location, the research identified clusters of activity. It also looked at different scenarios and the key vagaries that feed into projects, such as headwinds and the electricity grid. For example, Johnson pointed out that SSEN has confirmed it is to invest some £22bn in upgrading the grid across Scotland, which has reduced connection risks. The research also examined the implications of projects in terms of people. It considered where the required workforce with the appropriate skills will come from and where they will be accommodated. Johson told the event: 'The Regional Economic Partnership, at the same time as we were doing this research, did a piece of work that's now an economic strategy and action plan for the Highlands and Islands. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'We know that we're going to have to focus on how we grow the economy, how we collaborate with the private sector to develop housing, how we attract the skilled workforce, and on transport and infrastructure.' In another speech, Yvonne Crook, Chair of Highland CIC, covered what needs to happen to ensure a 'just transition' for the Highlands, socially, economically, environmentally, and in terms of infrastructure. She explained: '[We]began four years ago with a vision rooted in the rich cultural heritage of the Highlands, one that inspires us to transform our landscape responsibly and inclusively, sustainably, and with ambition. 'As we prepare to harness the scale of investment, this vision is guiding us to ensure we can leave the greatest legacy possible for future generations.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'We are embracing the United Nations sustainable development goals as a framework for a comprehensive and balanced approach to sustainable development in this period of transformational change. Crook added: 'Our goal is to inspire a sustainable future, while putting the Highlands onto the global stage, showcasing our ambition and our leadership. innovation, collaboration and transformative change.' She referred to the wide-ranging attractions on offer across the Highlands and its strength in various sectors, and listed the region's hydropower facilities; its infrastructure of ports and harbours providing significant opportunities for growth and development; the Inverness and Cromarty Green Freeport, which provides the opportunity to establish the region as an innovative green trade hub, as well as other transformational renewable energy projects. Crook enthused: 'What an inspiration it's been to be working with colleagues, businesses, and community leaders who realise the scale of this opportunity for the Highlands and want to be part of leaving the greatest legacy we can for the future.'

'Our vision is to promote the Highlands as an enriching experience set within a dramatic natural environment, where energy innovation and thriving local communities are at the heart of our story. 'Together with community and business leaders we have a significant opportunity to map a just transition. One driven by ambition and shared purpose that balances growth with sustainability and ensures the Highlands have prosperity for generations.'
