Many of the projects are at an early stage of development and will require significant further investment to complete. “The project portfolio brings some excellent assets and will provide a real springboard for our expansion plans in Europe across wind, solar, batteries and hydrogen," says Stephen Wheeler, managing director of SSE Renewables, the clean energy arm of UK-based utility
