Utility giant considers its options in £1bn carbon capture initiative
Scottish and Southern Energy (SSE), the Perth-based utility giant, yesterday revealed that it is considering entering the £1 billion competition to develop clean power stations in the UK.
The company said it had launched a feasibility study for carbon capture and storage (CCS) at its gas-fired power station at Peterhead, Aberdeenshire. Plans for a different capture scheme at Peterhead were shelved by BP in 2007 after Government delays.
