SSEN TRANSMISSION ISSUES NEW €750m GREEN BOND

SSEN Transmission, the 75%-owned subsidiary of SSE plc, has successfully
launched its second issuance in the Euro bond market with a €750m long
8-year green bond maturing on 2 November 2033 at a fixed coupon of 3.375%,
which has been swapped to Sterling giving an all-in funding cost of 5.23%.

Today's issuance is SSE's tenth green bond in eight years and reaffirms its
status as the UK's largest corporate issuer of green bonds. This brings the
total outstanding green bonds issued by the SSE Group to £5.5bn, with £2.7bn
issued directly by SSEN Transmission.

The proceeds from today's green bond will specifically help finance and/or
refinance critical infrastructure as part of a £22bn+ investment programme to
upgrade the transmission network across the north of Scotland.

As a mass transporter of renewable energy, SSEN Transmission has a major role
to play in supporting delivery of Scotland and the UK's 2030 net zero targets,
connecting new onshore and offshore renewables generation and transporting the
power generated to demand centres in the rest of Scotland and beyond.

Barry O'Regan, SSE's Chief Financial Officer, said:

"SSE is at the heart of the clean energy transition, investing in high-quality
assets across the Group. Our transmission business is growing rapidly and this
bond offers yet another attractive proposition to investors looking to finance
green infrastructure.

"This is SSEN Transmission's second issuance in the Euro bond market.  It
adds to our growing green bond portfolio and is consistent with our commitment
to maintaining a strong balance sheet through financial discipline."
