Balfour Beatty has sealed an \u00a3833m deal to build the world\u2019s first gas-fired power station with carbon capture and storage at the Net Zero Teesside project.<\/p>\n

The firm will deliver major onshore works for the plant as construction partner to Technip Energies, working alongside GE Vernova and Shell Catalysts & Technologies.<\/p>\n

The landmark scheme, backed by bp and Equinor, will see a 742MW combined-cycle gas power station constructed alongside a post-combustion carbon capture unit capable of removing up to 2m tonnes of CO\u2082 annually.<\/p>\n

Captured emissions will be compressed and piped offshore for storage under the North Sea via the Northern Endurance Partnership \u2013 a joint venture between bp, Equinor and TotalEnergies.<\/p>\n

Leo Quinn, Balfour Beatty group chief executive, said: \u201cNet Zero Teesside Power is an ambitious scheme, forging the path towards the sustainable infrastructure of the future and positioning the UK as a leader in cleaner, greener energy consumption.\u201d<\/p>\n

The contract win follows a \u00a321.7bn government pledge last year to support UK carbon capture projects. Net Zero Teesside secured final investment approval in December 2024.<\/p>\n

The full value of the contract will hit Balfour Beatty\u2019s order book by the end of Q2 2025.<\/p>\n

Main construction is due to start later this year with completion set for 2028. At peak, the project will support 1,500 jobs.<\/p>\n
