Investment into the Energy and Process Industry
The North East is enjoying a rapidly growing economy and is now consistently growing faster than the UK as a whole and it is rated as having one of the highest quality of life indices in the UK.
The renewed growth is driven to a great extent by significant investment in new energy and process industry infrastructure, including major bioenergy, carbon capture and renewables projects.
The region is home to the UK's most energy intensive industries in the Tees Valley, and hosts unique translational research and design facilities most notably NaREC, CPI and Northumbria Design School, it continues to have significant pockets of fuel poverty. All of these elements provide a unique UK test bed for new energy technologies and services.
