Two major new projects are being planned, but do they sound too good for the economy to be true?
The really distinctive element of the Ayrshire plan is a colossally large grey concrete tower. It will be 60m by 40m in length and breadth, and 185m high. That will make it the highest free-standing building in Scotland - the same height as the now demolished chimney at Longannet power station in Fife.
The Hunterston tower will not be a chimney, but a drying tower for cable as plastic coating is applied to it. Cable moves through the factory at approximately one metre per minute. As drying takes three hours, it requires 180m of drop. And as there will be six production lines, it needs a lot of bulky tower.
Further appeals could stall the process, but as things now stand, the intention is to start construction early next year, with complex installation of production lines and testing of cable quality taking until 2027 for full production and load-out to begin.All this may sound too good for the economy to be true, and by transporting green energy, it would be not bad for the environment as well.
