Here are the top business stories making the headlines in the morning newspapers.
Why has Aberdeen missed out on a platform project?
An oil and gas industry leader has highlighted an initiative to use a decommissioned platform as an art installation, asking: "Why isn't this happening in Aberdeen?"
Energy Voice says the SEE Monster is planned for Weston-super-Mare this year.
The scheme is part of a UK Government initiative called Unboxed, designed to deliver greater connectivity between the arts and industry.
Sam Long, interim CEO of Decom North Sea, said: "To me this is about offshore meets onshore, industry meets arts and culture, and underneath all of that, is the piece that we need to be doing: we need to advocate what we do in the decommissioning work, we need to speak loud and we need to reach out to broader communities."
A similar idea of an oil rig museum has often been floated in Aberdeen, but never brought into fruition.
Mr Long, speaking at a conference, highlighted that Weston-super-Mare has "nothing to do with the oil and gas industry" and asked why similar initiatives aren't happening in regions like Aberdeen, Norwich and Newcastle.
Popular pool to close over high energy prices
Youngsters due to take swimming lessons at the Beach Leisure Centre will be allocated to a new pool after it closes.
Sport Aberdeen and Aberdeen City Council today announced the popular pool in Aberdeen will shut “temporarily” from August 21 due to “unsustainable” energy costs.
Alistair Robertson, managing director for Sport Aberdeen, said the decision had not been taken lightly – but could save up to £500,000, essentially protecting other venues across the city.
Regular pay is dropping
Regular pay is falling at the fastest rate in more than a decade when taking into account rising prices, the Office for National Statistics has said.
Between February and April, pay excluding bonuses was down 2.2% from a year earlier when adjusted for inflation.
UK household budgets are being squeezed by record fuel and energy costs.
However, pay including bonuses is outpacing price rises, rising by 0.4% when taking inflation into account.
Sam Beckett, head of economic statistics at the ONS, told the BBC that a "high level of bonuses" was continuing to "cushion the effects of rising prices on total earnings for some workers".
"But if you exclude bonuses, pay in real terms is falling at its fastest rate in over a decade," she added.
Scottish wind farm is shrinking
SSE Renewables has confirmed plans to reduce the overall area for its proposed Berwick Bank Wind Farm by around a fifth.
It comes as the green energy giant makes final preparation to submit the massive project off North Berwick to Scottish ministers for planning consent.
Energy Voice says the latest move is in addition to a previous reduction of 10%, already made in summer last year.
The decision was made as part of the wind farm's design process following extensive stakeholder consultation, detailed ornithological studies and full environmental assessment which is nearing completion.
Although the overall area that will form the basis of the consent application is to be reduced, the capacity of green electricity that will be generated by Berwick Bank will remain unchanged at 4.1 gigawatts (GW).
As such it will be one of the largest offshore renewable energy developments in the world.
Aberdeen station upgrade almost finished
ScotRail has unveiled a new look for Aberdeen railway station as work on an £8million upgrade finally nears completion.
Fresh plans lodged with Aberdeen City Council reveal how the building could look once the mammoth project is finished.
The Press and Journal says bosses want to install illuminated signage saying "Aberdeen Station" on the entrance to the building.
The plans have been lodged more than three years after the council rubber-stamped different blueprints for the building.
The tweaks mean that the rail provider will need to secure separate permission.
No refunds at Missguided
Missguided shoppers left out-of-pocket after the fashion brand failed won't get their money back, says the administrator winding up the company.
Teneo, which is running the business until new owner Fraser Group takes over, said the company won't be able to honour refunds to customers.
It means shoppers like Steph Eady, who sent back £190 of clothes, are left to claim through their credit card.
The BBC says that, when a firm goes bust, customers are often last on the list for repayments.
Solar car comes with big price tag
A Dutch company is starting deliveries of the world's first commercial solar car this year, potentially ramping up competition in the auto industry's race to net zero.
Lightyear, founded in 2016, is producing almost 1,000 of the primarily battery-powered models, fitted with curved solar panels across the roof and bonnet. The company claims power from the sun can contribute up to 44 miles to the vehicle's 388-mile range per day.
Available to pre-order at a cost of £216,000, Lightyear 0 will allow short drives to be purely solar-powered during the sunniest months of the year.
The Telegraph says that, while not new, solar has been pegged as a potential solution to the lack of available chargers holding back the electric vehicle revolution. There are questions, however, over how efficient the concept is - particularly in an often cloudy Britain.
In the Netherlands, for instance, just two months of the year will provide enough sun to reach the 44-mile capacity.
