The North East Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP)’s Energy
for Growth strategy sets out areas of opportunity where
the North East can contribute towards national energy and
net zero goals at scale, while driving economic growth and
delivering more and better jobs in the region.
The Energy for Growth programme is focussed across three
key workstreams, led by the LEP’s energy for growth team:
supporting growth in energy sectors such as electrification,
batteries, offshore energy and low carbon heat; uniting the
region’s energy innovation and demonstration assets via
the North East Energy Catalyst; and accelerating delivery of
regional energy projects at scale, such as heat networks.
