A planned new low-carbon power station at SSE Thermal’s Peterhead site in Aberdeenshire could generate significant benefits to the Scottish and UK economies over its lifetime, according to a new report. The ‘Powering the Next Generation’ report highlights the potential socio-economic benefits of Peterhead Carbon Capture Power Station, which is being developed by leading energy companies SSE Thermal and Equinor.

Catherine Raw has officially joined SSE Thermal as its new Managing Director, tasked with spearheading the company’s low-carbon ambitions while leading on its existing power generation and energy storage activities.

A proposed first-of-its-kind power station in the Humber could generate £1.2bn to the UK economy over its lifetime, according to a new report.
