Energy giant signs renewable power deal for massive port development

The Hunterston site is seen as an attractive proposition for development as it features a deep-water port, has on-site rail connectivity and it is already connected to the national grid.

The site was also earlier this year granted national development status, “creating opportunities for a slew of new renewable energy developments to come onstream”.

The port group previously announced a long-term deal with sub-sea cabling company XLCC for a major facility at Hunterston PARC to include two factories, which could further generate 900 jobs. It gained final planning approval this year.
