Winds of Change for Renewable Energy Market

A green energy project in the North Sea has been awarded an important European grant.

The €690, 000 grant will help to create links in infrastructure between Peterhead and Norway which could lead to a merge in the Scottish and Scandanavian electricity markets.


A member of the European Parliament's energy committee Alyn Smith said: "We in Scotland are serious about making our renewable potential a reality, about selling our clean green energy to the European market and we'll need infrastructure that's fit for purpose"


Mr Smith continued: "In an unstable world our European partners are just as keen to see the development of our glittering potential to provide secure, clean, green energy."
