ABOUT 20 jobs are expected to be created at an office overseeing an energy company’s growth in the North- East renewables sector.

EDF Energy Renewables has opened an office at the Wilton Centre, on Teesside, creating up to 20 jobs.

Tim Bland, Project Manager of EDF Energy Renewables, said: “We opted for The Wilton Centre because it is near the construction works required for the development of the Teesside Offshore Wind Farm and is convenient for a number of the contractors we employ.”
