Question:
A£60m project to develop one of the UK's largest biomass renewable
energy projects is set to create more than 400 jobs on Teesside.
Answer:
The "Wilton 10" project, which is being financed with a £10m
Government grant and £50m from SembCorp's Singapore-based parent group, will
create around 400 jobs during construction and 15 permanent jobs within
SembCorp Utilities UK.
Those behind the scheme say it will also secure and create job
opportunities within the farming, forestry, construction, wood recycling and
transport sectors.
Paul Gavens, SembCorp Utilities UK managing director, said: "This
investment is extremely good news for SembCorp, the Wilton International
manufacturing site and the people of Teesside and the North-East.
"It will sustain jobs and play a part in helping the Government meet
the UK's climate change and greenhouse gas reduction targets."
The power station will generate 30 MW of electricity - enough to power
around 30,000 homes - and will be operational by mid-2007.
