Scottish gas-fired power station approved

Thursday, 6 October 2011

Plans to replace a coal-fired power station at Cockenzie in East Lothian with a gas-fired station have been approved by Scottish ministers.

ScottishPower Generation has been given the go-ahead for a 1,000 MW power station which will consist of two combined cycle gas turbine units.

The existing coal-fired power station on the site is due to end operations in December 2015, when it will be demolished.

A separate application for a new 17.5km gas pipeline, which will run from the existing gas network at East Fortune to the new power station, has also been approved.
