the_jubjub_birdEd Miliband to approve first major North Sea gasfield project in decade
The energy secretary is expected to give the green light to Jackdaw drilling as the Iran war and energy security fears force a shift in government policy
Ed Miliband is expected to give the green light to the first major North Sea oil and gasfield project in almost ten years as ministers face political pressure to increase drilling during the war in Iran.
Whitehall officials say the energy secretary is minded to approve the Jackdaw gasfield, 150 miles off Aberdeen, which could begin supplying gas to more than a million homes this winter. The company says it could produce the equivalent of 6 per cent of the UK’s future gas supply.
