SSE Energy Solutions has partnered with the owners of Hunterston Port and Resource Campus (Hunterston PARC) to provide renewable energy support for the site’s proposed development.
Peel Ports Group, the UK’s second-largest port operator plans to create an energy and marine campus on a 300-acre expanse within the Clydeport facility located in Ayrshire.
The port operator envisions the establishment of a business park that will bring together prominent industry stakeholders, world-class academics and innovators to foster technological advancements in fields such as power generation and aquaculture.
As part of the development’s blueprint, SSE will establish the infrastructure and renewable energy supply to energise the park’s operations.
Nathan Sanders, managing director at SSE Energy Solutions, said: “The Hunterston PARC project aligns perfectly with our Just Transition and Social Value strategies.
“We believe in working closely with communities and local businesses to tackle climate change and this development will bring jobs and investment to the West of Scotland, as well as contributing to the UK’s net zero ambitions.”
