Offshore Industry: North Sea
Asked by: Andrew Bowie (Conservative - West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine) Monday 12th October 2026 Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero: To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether a decision on the Jackdaw field was scheduled to be announced on Tuesday, 15th September 2026. Answered by Michael Shanks - Minister of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero) The Jackdaw field decision is currently going through the regulatory process. The Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero will make a decision in due course on whether or not to agree to the grant of consent by the North Sea Transition Authority. There is no fixed timeline for an announcement, and it is imperative that all material is properly considered so that a robust decision can be taken. Given the quasi-judicial nature of the regulatory process, it would be inappropriate for me to comment further on the project. |
