The principle of continued electricity generation at Cockenzie has support at both the national and local levels through the Scottish Government’s National Planning Framework and within East Lothian Council’s Local Plan. The current site benefits from being adjacent to the existing infrastructure required to connect the power station to the national electricity grid. In addition, it will allow re-use of the existing direct cooling water system from the Firth of Forth.
