Scottish and Southern Energy core purpose is to provide the energy people need in a reliable and sustainable way.

SSE's strategy is to deliver sustained real growth in the dividend payable to shareholders through the efficient operation of, and investment in, a balanced range of economically-regulated and market-based businesses.

To help achieve this, SSE plans to invest around £1.5 - £1.7 billion per year between 2010 and 2015. The principal focus of this investment is renewable energy, but investment is also planned in thermal generation, electricity networks and in other areas.

Within our power division our expert team were appointed to provide contract and commercial management including contract document review and agreement, variation negotiation and settlement and final account agreement for 80km of 11kv overhead line refurbishment.

Our client had sought to avoid his responsibilities under this NEC form of contract so our team established their default under the contract and resolved a potential dispute to bring an amicable conclusion to the contract.
