Innovation is at the heart of our drive for secure, affordable clean energy for the UK. We are innovating, testing new ideas and collaborating with partners, experts and competitors to find new approaches. Investing locally and thinking globally we have spent more than £56million in 2024 on innovation, leading the way towards a Net Zero future.
At ScottishPower, we are committed to an innovation model that drives the development of disruptive and sustainable technologies that in turn consolidate the energy transformation. We are part of the Iberdrola group, the world's leading private energy company in terms of investment in R&D&I (Research, Development and Innovation), according to the European Commission.
