The 'Creca Hydrogen Facility' held its first consultation event to showcase plans aimed at kickstarting the development at the former nuclear power plant site in Dumfries and Galloway. The green hydrogen facility intends to create 50 permanent jobs and further 150 temporary positions during the construction phase. The project, part of the Chapelcross Masterplan, plans to begin construction next year and be fully operational by 2028, producing 4000 tonnes of green hydrogen annually. The facility will utilize local renewable energy sources for electrolysis to produce hydrogen, which will be supplied to nearby industrial users to replace natural gas. The project aligns with the UK and Scottish governments' hydrogen economy growth targets and the strategic importance of hydrogen in the future energy system. The community engagement through consultations aims to gather feedback for refining the facility proposal, emphasizing the value of incorporating local input. The upcoming consultation event will further showcase how community feedback has influenced the project's plans, reflecting a positive outlook on the involvement of stakeholders in the green energy initiative.
