An Energy Park on the old Cockenzie site?



The iconic Cockenzie Power Station in East Lothian closed down for the last time in March 2013.

There are plans to redevelop the site into a marine energy park. Scottish Enterprise published a Prior Information Notice (PIN) in February indicating that they were ‘exploring options’ for the potential redevelopment for an energy park which would neatly fit into the wider Forth/Tay renewable energy cluster and could operate alongside other N-RIP (National Renewables Infrastructure Plan) locations to help support the needs of the emerging offshore wind turbine, tidal and wave renewables market, in addition to the oil and gas Industries.

Watch the demolition of the old power station here:
