Peel Energy has today confirmed that the consortium it had formed with DONG Energy and RWE npower is no longer a runner in the UK Government's Carbon Capture and Storage Demonstration Competition.
Owen Michaelson, Chairman Peel Energy, said: "Peel Energy is committed to developing low carbon energy solutions and will continue to seek EU or UK funding to support the deployment of commercial scale Carbon Capture and Storage technology as part of a new power station at Hunterston."
"We are continuing to work with the UK and Scottish Governments to develop a workable regulatory framework for new coal power stations with CCS technology that will allow investment in new state of the art power plant to provide efficient, secure baseload power and significantly lower carbon emissions. We are confident that the new regulations will be in place in time to pursue all the necessary consents and licenses for CCS technology should Hunterston be deemed to be an acceptable place for a new coal power station."
