Case Study: SSEN Transmission identifies a 7GW network plan faster with Optioneer from Continuum Industries

SSEN Transmission identifies a 7GW network plan 3 years faster with Continuum Industries

The customer, SSEN Transmission, a major electricity transmission utility, faced the challenge of integrating 7GW of new generation capacity. Their traditional planning methods overlooked critical environmental and permitting risks, often leading to late-stage project challenges. They turned to Continuum Industries and its Optioneer platform to address this.

Using Continuum Industries' Optioneer, SSEN Transmission rapidly evaluated multiple strategic network scenarios. This AI-driven solution provided early visibility into risks and opportunities, enabling the utility to select a more feasible plan. The results included an 83% reduction in planning time, a potential £500 million saving on constraint costs, and the ability to deliver the network plan three years earlier.
