Peterhead Power Station is a multi-unit station owned and operated by SSE plc, with a capacity of 2,177 MW (1,550 MW transmissible). It is located near Boddam and the A90, just south of Peterhead, in Aberdeenshire, in the northeast of Scotland. It stands next to Sandford Lodge, a circa-1800-built structure. Initially operating as an oil-fired power station and later transitioning to fossil gas, the plant has also served as a site for experimental hydrogen generation capacity.

In 2016, the site became embroiled in a controversy surrounding a failed hydrogen and carbon capture and storage scheme with BP, which ultimately proved unsuccessful.[2] However, in 2022, the company proposed a new carbon capture and storage plan for the site.[3]
