Cyberhawk has entered into a multi-year agreement to deliver drone inspection and surveying services for SSE’s electricity networks in Britain. This contract spans an initial three years with an option for an additional two years, reinforcing a partnership that has lasted over a decade. Cyberhawk will enhance inspection safety and efficiency while minimizing the need for workers to access challenging infrastructure.
This agreement is significant as it marks the third major long-term contract between Cyberhawk and SSE, following two previous five-year agreements. The collaboration covers SSE’s regulated network businesses, SSEN Transmission and SSEN Distribution, which manage extensive electricity infrastructure across mainland Britain. The use of drones is expected to improve data quality and operational efficiency, reflecting SSE’s commitment to innovation in energy management.
Looking ahead, the agreement also extends Cyberhawk’s services to SSE’s offshore renewable energy assets, particularly in offshore wind turbine inspection. This expansion highlights the increasing demand for efficient asset inspection in hard-to-reach areas. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
