Old nuclear plant site at Chapelcross targets key hydrogen role

The site at Chapelcross near Annan is to play a lead role in the development of hydrogen technology.

A former nuclear power plant in Dumfries and Galloway is aiming to play a leading role in the development of hydrogen technology in Scotland.

It hopes to benefit from a new national “planning hub” to help fast-track local authority decisions on projects across Scotland which is due to open in Livingston.

It will initially focus on improving consenting speed for hydrogen developments until March 2025.
