To ask the Scottish Government whether it will consider requesting a new environmental impact assessment (EIA) for the proposed power plant at Peterhead, in light of research published by Carbon Tracker regarding the submitted EIA.
In February 2022, an application under section 36 of the Electricity Act seeking consent for construction and operation of the Peterhead Low Carbon Combined Cycle Gas Turbine Power Station was formally lodged with the Energy Consents Unit. This is currently before Ministers for determination and as such, it would be inappropriate for Ministers to make any comment.
