Coventry, UK, 5^th July 2024: Following the results of the UK General Election. A spokesperson on behalf of Greenpower Park said:

“Greenpower Park congratulates the Labour Party on its election victory and welcomes the new Government.

Sir Keir Starmer and his party have made clear commitments to creating a Gigafactory, and associated supply chain, in the West Midlands and accelerate the UK’s transition to an electrified future.

From automotive to energy storage, there is an urgent need to secure global battery manufacturers along with the associated supply chain to meet the growing demand for electrification in the UK.

Electrification, across all sectors, is of strategic importance for the UK and it needs to be part of the new Government’s broader industrial strategy which will ensure that potential investors consider the UK in the future.

Greenpower Park is a trailblazing centre of excellence for electrification, battery technology and manufacturing. With the West Midlands Gigafactory as its anchor tenant, it has unrivalled access to the most highly skilled workforce in the country and is the only such site in the UK to sit within an Investment Zone.

Greenpower Park is the best in the UK for battery development, manufacturing and recycling. It is perfectly placed to act as a hub for the UK’s rapidly growing battery industry.

We now look forward to working with the new Labour government to realise our ambition for Greenpower Park, the UK’s Centre of Clean Energy and Electrification.”
