UK Government and Scottish Government Pledge £9M for Mossmorran Ethylene Plant Revival
The UK and Scottish governments have committed £9 million to revive the former Mossmorran ethylene plant near Cowdenbeath, matching a similar pledge from the Scottish government. This funding is contingent on solid investment plans and commercial partners emerging. The site is now being marketed to potential buyers, with decommissioning set to conclude by 2028. Workers and families have faced challenges since the closure, but support is increasing to mitigate the impact on Fifes economy. All Mossmorran staff will receive guaranteed job interviews at the Grangemouth plant, and the Scottish government has unlocked £1.3 million for training around 350 workers in engineering, project management, and safety at Fife College. These measures aim to create a bridge to new opportunities and keep local talent engaged as talks with investors continue.
