The Strategic Spatial Energy Plan (SSEP) will set out where the UK’s future energy infrastructure should be built and prioritised. Developed by NESO and due in its first iteration by 2026, it will guide renewable deployment, grid expansion, and investment decisions. This session highlights why SSEP matters now and how it will change planning certainty, grid connections, and development risk.
- Understand how SSEP will influence planning and grid connection prioritisation.
- How SSEP could reshape land value, project prioritisation, and future development competition across UK regions.
- Recognise the impact of preferred development locations on future projects.
- Identify how to align development and investment strategies with SSEP direction.
