Industry Minister Sarah Jones unveiled plans for a multimillion-pound investment to build cutting-edge gas equipment in Peterborough, aiming to generate hundreds of jobs for the local community. The investment by National Gas will involve installing new gas turbine compressor sets at various sites, including Peterborough, St Fergus, and Wormington, to enhance the country's energy security. These new compressors are designed to mix natural gas with hydrogen, promoting cleaner energy practices and reducing carbon emissions compared to older equipment. During a visit to Peterborough, Jones emphasized the importance of replacing outdated compressors with skilled workers, ensuring job security and offering training opportunities for residents. While assuring the public of minimal impact on traffic and safety, Jones highlighted the positive outlook for the project. National Gas confirmed the creation of 1,000 roles across all three sites, sparking enthusiasm among local councilors and residents in Peterborough. Neil Boyce, a councilor, stressed the need for more details on the project's local implications, especially concerning nearby village infrastructure. Overall, the investment signifies a significant step towards technological advancement, job creation, and environmental sustainability in the energy sector.
