SSEN - COVID-19: Adjusting our operations around planned outages.

Update email received from SSE 19 March 2020

We have taken steps to change the way we work and have cancelled all non-essential planned supply interruptions that impact customers. This is likely to have a significant impact on outages for 3rd Party Forestry works in the foreseeable future. 

If you are currently working towards a confirmed planned outage date, please contact the relevant Harvesting Liaison Manager (HLM) to confirm if your outage is affected.
