The UK Government has finalised plans for the construction of the Humber Green Energy Hub. The Treasury estimates that the initial capital investment injection for this regional green energy infrastructure project will be £16.4 billion. Economic models project that this initial injection will lead to a total cumulative increase in national income of £41.8 billion.
