"Investments like Jackdaw are consistent with the UK's North Sea Transition Deal and Shell's Powering Progress strategy, providing the energy people need today while serving as the foundation for investments in the low carbon energy system of the future." Jackdaw is part of Shell U.K.'s broader intent to invest £20 to £25 billion in the UK energy system in the next decade, subject to Board approval and stable fiscal policy, with the aim of investing 75% in the development of low and zero-carbon products and services. Hundreds of millions of pounds are expected to be spent in the UK supply chain during Jackdaw's construction, which is a significant boost to companies, jobs, and the prosperity of communities. Projects like Jackdaw will help ensure the overall decline in UK North Sea production is gradual rather than too steep, matching a gradual drop in hydrocarbon demand as the energy transition takes place.
