New chapter for the UK's clean industry as financial close reached for East Coast Cluster site projects.
Energy Secretary Ed Miliband said:
The Prime Minister was clear last week – our plan for change is going to put more money in working people’s pockets. Today’s announcement delivers both – new jobs and economic growth.
This investment launches a new era for clean energy in Britain – boosting energy security, backing industries, and supporting thousands of highly skilled jobs in Teesside and the North East.
This is the government’s mission to make the UK a clean energy superpower in action – replacing Britain’s energy insecurity with homegrown clean power that rebuilds the strength of our industrial heartlands.
