SSE plc

1998 - 2000


Scottish and Southern Energy plc was the name given to the merger between Southern Electric and Scottish Hydro Electric. The company used the two previous company names as the brand name given to the region it was suppling gas and electricty to.

2000 - 2004


The second logo was almost identical to the first apart from the slight variation in font.

2004 - 2010


In 2004, the logo changed more dramatically to the colours associated with SSE today. This change also coinsided with the change of the Southern Electric and Scottish Hydro Electric to these same colours. Southern Electric and Scottish Hydro Electric adopted the same swirl in 2008.

2010 - present


In early 2010, Scottish and Southern Energy shortened the company name to 'SSE', albeit with the same colour and font on the logo as previously.
