SSE has opened an electric vehicle charging, hiring and parking facility, and a renewable energy public exhibition, at its One Waterloo Street office opposite Central Station in Glasgow.
The project aims to celebrate renewable energy, showcasing exhibits alongside a free all-electric vehicle space under one roof. Through it, the company wants to attract thousands of visitors and school children each year.
The all electric vehicle space features six charging car park spaces and electric car hire from Europcar and Peugeot as well as an all electric test car, perfect for trying out the latest technology in the city. For those who prefer two wheels rather than four, electric scooters and bikes are also available to rent.
SSE Chief Executive, Ian Marchant said: “We are very proud to bring the ‘Power of Now’ at our Scottish Hydro Centre for Renewable Excellence to Glasgow, one of Europe’s most sustainable cities, and believe our investment and partnership working will bring environmental, economic and social benefits for generations to come to all who either visit for educational purposes or use the all-electric facility.”
Councillor Gordon Matheson, Leader of Glasgow City Council and chair of the Sustainable Glasgow, said: “Glasgow is a city which is always striving to do better for the benefit of all our citizens. Through the Sustainable Glasgow partnership we aim to be one of Europe’s most sustainable cities and we are working hard to ensure Glasgow becomes cleaner, greener and healthier.”
