Energy North

An area of waste ground in Wick has been identified as a potential site for a solar farm that would generate renewable power for nearby properties.

The developers of a wind farm off the north coast of Caithness have reduced the number of turbines by three after taking account of local concerns.

The final box of spent fuel from Dounreay has been reprocessed by staff at Sellafield's Magnox Reprocessing Plant in Cumbria.

Communities around west Caithness and north Sutherland could benefit from a benefit fund related to a proposed floating wind farm off Dounreay.

Households in Caithness will receive a one-off £400 grant from October for their energy bills.

Dounreay bosses are facing claims that worker morale has plummeted in the wake of a series of recent safety lapses at the plant.

The new Highland Council leader, Wick and East Caithness councillor Raymond Bremner, believes the region could be a European green energy powerhouse.

Caithness and Sutherland are home to many renewable energy developments, yet more people there are living in fuel poverty, including Magnus Davidson

Thirteen turbines up to 149.9 metres tall are being proposed close to the north coast on a site near Melvich as part of a "wind energy hub".

A global wind farm developer has joined forces with a local business networking organisation to help support firms in the far north.

Almost 700 jobs could be created over the next three years, according to the quango charged with helping to replace roles going at Dounreay.

Highland Council’s new leader, Raymond Bremner, has welcomed the claim that thousands of jobs would be created by Cromarty Firth Green Freeport.

Plans unveiled for a new wind farm near Watten have been slammed by opponents who say it is one of the "largest proposed in the UK".

The developers of a wind farm off the north coast of Caithness have pledged that they want the benefits to be "far-reaching" for the local area.

The price cap on energy bills could be updated every three months to help Caithness households under new proposals from Ofgem.

Two large redundant items that were removed from Dounreay’s facilities have now left the site for disposal or diversion, opening up new waste routes.

£60,000 a year will go to a Caithness-wide fund, according to the company behind the Halsary wind farm project south of Spittal.

A 12-year-old boy was given a special treat by Dounreay with a visit to see the nuclear site's robots in action at an Innovation Day event.

Pupils in the Highlands are being given a chance to launch an early career in the growing space sector.
