Peak Cluster: Job Creation

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, of the jobs created by the Peak Cluster project, how many of these will be a) permanent, b) temporary, c) local and d) UK jobs.

Answered by Michael Shanks

The department has not made an assessment of the number or nature of jobs that could be created by the Peak Cluster project. The Peak Cluster’s planned CCUS project has not been identified as one of the four CCUS Clusters for support through the government’s CCUS Cluster Sequencing process and is not in receipt of any funding from the department. Consequently, the information held by the department on the project is limited at this stage.
