The government has given the green light to build a \u00a3700m gas-fired power station in Middlesbrough.<\/p>\n

Sembcorp Utilities is behind plans to build the 1.7GW Tees combined cycle power plant on land at the Wilton International manufacturing site on Teesside.<\/p>\n

The project will utilise existing gas and national grid connections on the site of the former Teesside Power Station, which was demolished six years ago.<\/p>\n

Taking more than three years to build, the new gas-fired power station will employ up to 1,000 during the construction phase.<\/p>\n

The project being developed by\u00a0Sembcorp Utilities, part of the Singapore-based Sembcorp Industries Group, involves building two main gas generating modules, two steam turbines, and two electrical generators.<\/p>\n

It is the third major project to be approved this year following the development consent orders granted for Tilbury 2, a new port facility to be built at the Port of Tilbury, and Millbrook Power, a gas-fired power station proposed in Bedfordshire.<\/p>\n
