Volt, the program filled with political promises to create 8000 jobs across South East Northumberland has been spiked now that the Conservatives don’ t expect to return any MP’ s to Parliament from the County.
The announcement that the Conservative Government’ s Chancellor Jeremy Hunt, the man who is taxing the backsides of OAP's, has been in talks with EVE- Energy the largest Chinese manufacturer of Lithium Batteries and possibly the largest in the world.
Chinese company EVE Energy, known for making electric vehicle batteries, is reportedly in advanced negotiations to invest billions of pounds in building Britain's largest gigafactory near Coventry. Initially, the company plans to invest £ 1. 2bn in a 20GWh site, with plans for expansion to 60GWh. The West Midlands Gigafactory would create around 6, 000 jobs and thousands more in the supply chain, boosting the automotive sector in the West Midlands. It is planned to be the anchor tenant of a larger project called the UK Centre of Electrification, a joint venture between local councils and the owners of Coventry airport.
Along with the Conservatives investment in 2 Giga Plants in Tyne and Wear in partnership with Chinese Company AESC one already producing 2 gigawatt and the second factory to deliver 38 gigawatt and the deal recently struck between TATA and the Government to produce 40 gigawatt the total uk production should reach 140 gigawatt by 2030 above the line agreed with the Faraday foundation for UK needs.
The UK therefore needs to step up its Electrical Energy production by 100 Terawatt by 2030 to service the road vehicle needs of the nation and treble that if as a nation we begin to suddenly embrace and agree we can live with the rise in noise level of domestic air source heat pumps.
The national grid's current demand stands at 334. 2 TWh . TWh stands for " terawatt- hour," which is a unit of energy that’ s equal to putting out one trillion watts for one hour.
Moving back to Blyth, the rush for extra energy across the North- East region may have to be centered on Blyth which is ideally placed to handle much of the incoming power supply from offshore wind farms sited in Northern England and Southern Scotland, bolstered by its North Sea link with Norway.
JDR Industries Massive Cable manufacturing plant in the Port of Blyth may also be the base for increasing the production of the National Grid which needs modernisation and growth on a huge scale to absorb and sell on the energy that's needed to supply the UK population and power any growth ambitions of future Governments.
This 170 job cable manufacturing plant, although necessary for the future of the nations energy needs does nothing to fill the gap in jobs required across South- East Northumberland whose residents have lived on promises from the Conservatives of 8000 extra jobs, have had to live in SEN’ s low wages economy, thousands of children in need and families driven towards financial despair for the last 13 years now know there's no future for them unless the next announcement for the Giga- site in Cambois is to bring another failed promise from the Conservatives of a devolved Ministry to be re- sited to the North East and place it in the River Blyth Estuary on the failed Giga Plant land mass.
