Peterhead Power Station

In the 2000s, the plant underwent a major repowering project to convert it into an efficient CCGT power station. Today, Peterhead is the largest power station of its kind in Scotland, playing a critical role in keeping the lights on and providing important flexibility to the grid.

We are currently exploring redevelopment opportunities for a decarbonised power station at Peterhead, using CCS or hydrogen solutions, to ensure the site can continue to provide essential flexible generation in a net-zero world.

SSE Thermal is part of NECCUS, an alliance focused on decarbonising energy and industry to support Scotland's target of net-zero carbon emissions by 2045.
