Campaigners call for investigation in new power plant plans

SSE who owns the current power plant and are partly behind the new proposals say a new site is needed.

Climate campaigners are calling for a full investigation into what they claim have been breaches of the Ministerial Code around plans for a new power station and carbon capture site.

Friends of the Earth Scotland believe an investigation should take place around the planning application for the site in Peterhead.

The First Minister has dismissed the calls and says he doesn’t believe there are ‘any foundations’ for the accusations.
