A £200 million investment will boost renewable energy in the north-east of England.
Sembcorp UK and SITA UK are working together to create a new
facility at the Wilton International site, which will be used to
recover UK energy.
As well as the 50 jobs that will be sustained when the plant is
open, around 200 jobs will be created during the construction of
the building.
Leader of Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council George Dunning
stated that the local economy will be boosted as a result of the
£200 million investment.
"The renewable energy sector is thriving on Teesside
and this latest news is extremely welcome from both an
environmental and economic point of view," he said.
This is the latest development in England in the renewable energy sector, after the country's
energy and climate change minister Chris Huhne announced a reform
of the industry.
He stated that local authorities will now be able to sell the
extra UK energy they create to the national
grid.
