The Accounts Commission has requested more information on The
Highland Council’s Caithness Heat and Power (CHaP) project.

The Commission took the decision at its meeting on Thursday 17 June,
when it considered a statutory report from the Controller of Audit that
highlighted concerns with the project.

Chair of the Accounts Commission, John Baillie, said:

“In light of the issues raised in the report, the Commission
agreed to direct the Controller of Audit to carry out further investigations.
Once this audit work has been completed, the Controller of Audit will
produce another statutory report, which will be considered by the
Commission in due course.”
