ALMOST half of new jobs created in Caithness and north Sutherland in the next 14 years will relate to the energy industry, according to estimates revealed in a new economic report. Caithness and North Sutherland Regeneration Partnership (CNSRP) is confident 1600 new jobs will be created locally by 2030, predicting at least 100 new jobs a year. Of that total figure, it forecasts 48 per cent will be related to the nuclear, renewable and oil and gas sector with Dounreay still predicted to be the engine of the Caithness economy over the next few years.
