Thursday 18th July 11.30 am – 1pm
Perth Concert Hall, Mill Street, PH1 5HZ
There will be a protest outside the SSE AGM in opposition to the company’s disastrous plans for a new gas burning power station in Peterhead.
SSE already owns the existing power station in Peterhead, which is Scotland’s biggest polluter. A new plant will lock people in Scotland into reliance on expensive and polluting gas for decades – well past the Scottish Government’s 2045 net zero target.
SSE’s Annual General Meeting is for the company to celebrate their huge profits and their expansion plans.
We want to make sure that their bosses and shareholders know that people are not happy about their plans for new fossil fuel infrastructure, so we will be holding a demonstration outside the Concert Hall venue. It will be a family friendly protest, and everyone is welcome!

Presume this is England’s government forcing this onto Scotland once again. Energy policy is a reserved power to the UK government in London, so when you say ‘Scotland’s biggest polluter’ it should really be biggest polluter in Scotland in place due to the policies of the the UK/English government.
Protests should take place outside Westminster just so people know that this is NOT the policy of, nor is it within the powers of the Scottish government, ie, the SNP.
