Scottish Hydro Electric Transmission, a division of SSE, has received consent from Moray Council to build a new substation at the site of the existing substation at Blackhillock.
The Open4Business team will be holding an event at Ugie House Hotel, Keith. This event will give local businesses the opportunity to meet the team, register their business and learn more about the scheme.
Stewart Stevenson commented:
“I am pleased to see that SSE is looking to support small and medium sized businesses in the area.
“It can be difficult for companies to discover what opportunities are available and for organisations to know which businesses are able to provide them with the services that they are looking for.
“I therefore welcome this initiative, and would encourage any interested businesses to register their interest with SSE and to attend the event in Keith on 9 October.”
