ScottishPower is keen to hear your views on the Future of Cockenzie Power Station and potential CCGT and Pipeline project.

We will be holding a series of community consultation events throughout the course of the project. The events will provide you an opportunity to view the proposals and speak to members of the project team. We also encourage you to fill in the feedback forms which will be available at the events and also for a period of time on this site. Your feedback on the project is important to us, and will help to shape the progression and details of the proposals.

Feedback - have your say

• Please complete a feedback form at one of our community consultation events and return to the project team on the day, by email at cockenzieconsents@gvagrimley.co.uk or by post to Cockenzie Consents Team, GVA Grimley, Quayside House, 127 Fountainbridge, Edinburgh EH3 9QG.
• Complete a feedback form following the public exhibition and submit it directly to the project team.
