SSE Renewables, which is one of the largest energy companies in the UK, wants to help communities facing the unprecedented challenges during the coronavirus pandemic. It invests in the areas in which it operates â particularly where its onshore windfarms are located â and, as the organisation is very active in the Highlands, it has channelled much of its funding from its Community Investment scheme to the area.
