The high court in London has ruled that the UK government’s approval of a gas-fired power station in Teesside, northeast England, was lawful. The legal challenge against the project, led by climate campaigner Andrew Boswell, was dismissed on Wednesday. The power station, a joint venture between BP and Equinor, will be equipped with carbon capture and storage technology to reduce emissions. Judge Nathalie Lieven upheld the decision, stating that the development aligns with national policies on both planning and energy. BP welcomed the ruling, highlighting the plant’s contribution to the UK’s net zero targets and energy security.
