North Sea Knitters Campaign Against SSE's Peterhead Gas Power Station Proposal
The North Sea Knitters, a Scotland-wide group, has campaigned for four years against SSE's proposed gas power station in Peterhead. Their efforts have delayed at least two million tonnes of CO2 emissions. Activists argue the project, linked to the Acorn carbon capture initiative, is unfeasible and detrimental to the transition to renewable energy. SSE's plans have faced various protests, including at AGMs, highlighting concerns over fuel poverty and reliance on fossil fuels. The current gas station in Peterhead is one of Scotland's largest polluters.

The North Sea Knitters, a group campaigning against SSE's proposed gas power station in Peterhead, has delayed at least two million tonnes of CO2 emissions over four years. The project, which aims to replace an existing gas station, is linked to the Acorn carbon capture initiative.
Activists have raised concerns about the project's feasibility and its potential negative impact on renewable energy transitions and fuel poverty. Protests have included knit-ins at SSE AGMs and public demonstrations.
SSE was required to re-evaluate its Environmental Impact Assessment after research revealed underreported emissions. The current Peterhead facility is a significant source of pollution in Scotland.
