New renewable energy plant to be built on Teeside
Work will start on a new renewable energy plant on the Teeside that is set to create at least 600 new jobs and power up to 600,000 homes, a news report in the local media has found.
The project at Teesport will create one of the biggest biomass plants in the world and will cost approximately £650m to construct. Site preparation works will begin within weeks, with the main construction works starting a few months later. Commercial operations are due to start in 2020.
At least 600 jobs will be created during construction with about 100 full-time jobs sustained on site once the plant become operational. Several hundred more roles are also expected to be created in the supply chain.
David Robinson, chief executive of PD Ports, said: "This is excellent news for Teesside and gives substantial impetus to the long-term economic activity in the area as well as positioning the region as a major energy hub, creating hundreds of jobs and many more in the wider supply chain.
"Attracting such a significant UK energy infrastructure project to Teesport further complements recent investments made by PD Ports including the decision to redevelop our Number One Quay last year."
