Burnham hails approval for two huge windfarm projects as ‘power under British control’ – UK politics live
And it is great news for billpayers because every turbine we put up is power under British control, not at the mercy of events on the other side of the world.
Key points
- Energy company RWE, together with global investment firm KKR, have announced a total investment of £12bn, believed to be the biggest of its kind in UK history to date.
- Announcement comes ahead of visit to Cop31 climate conference with PM also set to face MPs at PMQs Good morning.
- This major investment in UK renewables is a vote of confidence for building in Britain.
Of the two events, the EPC is probably the more important for Burnham because it will give him the chance to clear the air ahead of the UK-EU summit next week, and because Burnham has made renegotiating the relationship with the EU a key aim of his premiership.
Additional details
- This includes the creation of 130 new project delivery roles in Glasgow and Montrose.
