To ask the Scottish Government what its response is to research by Carbon Tracker regarding the proposed power plant at Peterhead, including the findings illustrating alleged discrepancies in the environmental impact assessment.
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.
