Scottish and Southern Electricity (SSEN) Resilience Grant supports local  communities to improve their resilience. As grant recipients in 2017 we were delighted to be invited to  their parliamentary reception  to learn more about their innovative projects.  Team member Serena fed back that “it was one of those occasions where you really don’t know what to expect but are pleasantly surprised” she met key SSEN staff and learnt about technical innovations and vulnerability mapping that could be used to help Search and Rescue. Our technical guru Laurence tried out the TOUCAN fault detection thermal imaging camera and learnt about  its  potential for use in search.

As the electricity distribution owner in central and southern England and the north of Scotland SSEN recognise their responsibility to continually drive improvements in network performance and extend the reach and support they provide to customers.  They are great supporters of Lowland Rescue through  the Resilient Communities Fund and we look forward to working in collaboration with them on future projects.
