The government says Jackdaw could begin supplying British homes and businesses with gas as early as the end of October.

Energy Secretary Miatta Fahnbulleh expects no lower energy bills this winter but points to energy security.

Operator Adura cites 27 direct full-time jobs, but nearly 300 jobs associated with the Shearwater hub.

The Green Party opposes new oil and gas licences and supports a 2025 court ruling declaring Jackdaw unlawful.

This decision will support the country’s energy security with homegrown gas this winter and help minimise the UK’s use of imported higher emission fuels as we continue our transition to renewables and nuclear.
— Energy Secretary Miatta Fahnbulleh said this in announcing Jackdaw’s approval, describing it as supporting the country’s energy security with homegrown gas this winter and reducing reliance on higher-emission imported fuels as the UK transitions to renewables and nuclear.
