A £1 billion Government grant to redevelop Peterhead’s power station was axed in 2015.
An electricity superhighway planned between Peterhead and Norway could bring a 600 jobs boom to the local area, according to plans submitted today by developers.

Developers have submitted plans to lay a 415 mile cable from Peterhead to the Norwegian west coast, due to begin in 2023.
