Working together to accelerate our journey towards Net Zero.  

The North East is ready to deliver on global energy challenges at pace and at scale.

As a region, we are pioneering low carbon heat technologies including river source heat networks, geothermal heat from mine workings, hydrogen for heat, and heat pumps. And as the national and international energy agenda focuses on clean growth, there are huge economic, social and environmental opportunities for the North East.

We are bringing the region’s energy sector together to deliver on the UK’s national energy strategy and drive economic growth in the North East.
