For all convex co-compact hyperbolic surfaces, we prove the existence of an essential spectral gap, that is a strip beyond the unitarity axis in which the Selberg zeta function has only finitely many zeroes. We make no assumption on the dimension $��$ of the limit set, in particular we do not require the pressure condition $��\leq {1\over 2}$. This is the first result of this kind for quantum Hamiltonians. Our proof follows the strategy developed by Dyatlov-Zahl [arXiv:1504.06589]. The main new ingredient is the fractal uncertainty principle for $��$-regular sets with $��<1$, which may be of independent interest.
