Black & Veatch complete FEED study for Whitelee Green Hydrogen Project

In Scotland, Black & Veatch has completed execution of a front-end engineering design (FEED) study for the Whitelee Green Hydrogen Project, a proposed development by owner ScottishPower Energy Retail Limited. The contract was awarded to Black & Veatch in October of 2024.

The first phase of the plan, located 15 miles south of Glasgow, was awarded via U.K. government funding support as part of its Hydrogen Allocation Round 1 (HAR1) process. The project will produce green hydrogen via a power supply connection to the U.K.’s largest onshore windfarm, Whitelee Windfarm, creating a valuable renewable fuel with zero carbon emissions.

As the U.K. government shortlists new green hydrogen projects for funding as part of its Hydrogen Allocation Round (HAR2), Black & Veatch continues to work with clients using the company’s power generation and lower carbon expertise to plan, design and build green hydrogen plants. Black & Veatch has recently completed more than 200 front-end loading (FEL) studies globally with 245MW of green hydrogen projects completed or under construction.
