A consultation has been announced for a draft of guidance note for applications made under section 36 of the Electricity Act 1989 to develop or extend a thermal power station. In developing Scottish Ministers expectations on clean energy we would welcome consultee comments on questions relating to Carbon Capture Readiness. Scottish Ministers would also welcome comments on whether any other approaches to reducing carbon emissions should be considered. It is intended that following the results of this consultation we will produce formal guidance on Scottish Ministers expectations in relation to CCR and reducing carbon emissions, the information requirements of the consenting process and the assessment of the CCR capability of a development.
