US industrial giant General Electric has suspended plans to set up a smart-meter assembly plant in Scotland that could have created more than 100 jobs, prompting Scottish officials to lobby London counterparts for a quicker roll-out of the technology.
GE viewed at least two Scottish central belt sites earlier this year in a bid to build a European assembly hub. It would have produced millions of smart meters from components manufactured in Eastern Europe or Asia, but GE has now put the plans on ice.
