“Tyseley Energy Park is at the cutting edge of my plan for the West Midlands to lead a clean energy revolution. This technology will benefit the region and others across the UK. It’s the kind of innovation we’re driving to develop solutions to the energy problems we face now and to find ways to generate greener, more reliable, and sustainable energy for our future generations. By investing in clean and green energy, we can create jobs, help businesses to reduce emissions and cut costs – leading to wellbeing, prosperity and growth.”
Richard Parker, Mayor of the West Midlands
Emily Prestwood from Birmingham Energy Institute said: “Tyseley Energy Park will play a significant role in Birmingham’s transition to net-zero. To make sure it’s a fair transition for the residents and communities in Tyseley and Hay Mills and that we’re acting for the common good, talking with people and sharing ideas and thoughts on climate change, is vitally important. We hope to continue to have these conversations over the next months and years”.
