CiNER’s £350m investment would create around 600 highly skilled jobs at the facility.

CiNER hopes that the size and scale of the project can act as a catalyst for economic regeneration in the South Wales Valleys.

The proposed development would also create significant supply chain opportunities, with 400 – 500 jobs created during the construction phase, with several hundred people working on site during the peak of construction.
