Our Development
Consent Order

We carried out several stages of consultation on Net Zero Teesside (NZT) between Autumn 2019, when we introduced NZT to the local community, to January 2021, when we provided an update on changes made to the Project.

Our Development Consent Order

After each stage we reviewed the comments received from the local community and other stakeholders and undertook further work.

In July 2021, we submitted a Development Consent Order (DCO) application for the construction and operation of the onshore elements of NZT to the Planning Inspectorate (PINS), a government agency, that administers the development consent application process on behalf of the relevant Secretary of State.

On 16 August 2021, PINS formally accepted our DCO application for examination.

 

On 16 February 2024, Net Zero Teesside Power and the Northern Endurance Partnership received development consent from the Secretary of State for Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) following a recommendation from the Planning Inspectorate (PINS).
