GB Energy chair warns of potential 20-year timeline to meet job pledge

theguardian.com —

GB Energy's chair, Jürgen Maier, stated it may take up to 20 years to fulfill its promise of employing 1,000 people. The agency plans to create 200 to 300 jobs in Aberdeen over the next five years. Maier could not provide a timeline for reducing energy bills by up to £300. He emphasized that GB Energy has just been established and is focused on becoming a significant player in the energy sector. Scottish First Minister John Swinney criticized the UK government for misleading the public about GB Energy's capabilities. He claimed the Labour party's promises regarding lower fuel bills are unlikely to be met in the near future.
