14 Apr 2021
Britishvolt, a leading UK investor in battery storage technologies, has purchased the 95-hectare site of the former Blyth coal-fired power station so it can be repurposed into the UK’s first battery gigafactory.
The £2.6 billion ($AU4.7 billion) investment, first announced back in December and reaffirmed this week, including with a feature in BBC News, is the biggest industrial investment in England’s North East since Japanese automotive giant Nissan arrived in the region in 1984.
Britishvolt says the gigafactory will begin construction in the northern summer this year, and by completion of the project’s final phase in 2027, will employ up to 3,000 highly skilled professionals, support a further 5,000 jobs in the wider supply chain, and produce more than 300,000 lithium-ion batteries for the UK automotive industry.
