Masterplan to create global energy park
AMBITIOUS plans unveiled yesterday could transform a 30-mile stretch of north-east Scotland into a world centre for energy companies.
The A90 corridor between Aberdeen and the Buchan town of Peterhead is one of the most underdeveloped parts of the region. But the Aberdeen City and Shire Economic Forum (ACSEF) has appointed a leading urban design company to produce a masterplan to turn the area into a global showcase for green energy companies and related firms operating in the wider energy industries.
The development, dubbed "Energetica", would be along similar lines to Sophia Antipolis, the computing and electronics technology park in the south of France.
