Moorland Energy

Moorland Energy is a gas exploration and processing business that plans to set up a £70m new facility in North Yorkshire close to the National Park that will feed gas into the national pipeline. It could produce up to 3% of the country’s energy when fully operational.

Our work embraced building a communications programme to communicate with stakeholders, the general public (specifically those living close to the proposed new processing facility) and the media. Ensuring balanced media coverage was a principal objective. Working alongside Simon Mountford, who dealt with all media relations, Watershed wrote and produced a 10 minute documentary film, created and distributed newsletters, undertaken direct mail plus designed all the graphic materials and set up a public exhibition.
