Progressive Energy

Progressive Energy describes itself as an "independent UK clean energy project development company." The company has no operating projects other than its involvement in promoting a Carbon Capture and Storage project at Teeside.

Coal project
Progressive Energy is a part of the Teeside Low Carbon consortium which also includes BOC, GDF SUEZ and Premier Oil. Teeside Low Carbon have proposed to build a 450 megawatt Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle plant with pre-combustion capture on a brownfield site on Teesside.

The consortium has stated that it expects that it will "make an investment decision in 2014, subject to appropriate planning and other regulatory approvals." At the end of October 2012 the Department of Energy and Climate Change announced that the project had been short-listed as one of four bidders "for the next phase of the UK’s £1bn Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) competition."

Members of the Board of Director includes:
 * Brian Count, previously CEO of Innogy, now RWE.
 * Alan Lovell, formerly CEO of Infinis as a Non-Exec Director;
 * Peter Whitton, the Managing Director, who previously headed up Business development and electricity trading at Magnox.
