GreenPower Park is a public-private joint venture between Coventry City Council and Rigby Group. The partners are seeking to create a centre of excellence for battery technology, advanced manufacturing and clean energy, with the potential to create 6,000 new jobs. 

GreenPower Park is part of the Coventry & Warwick Investment Zone. Generous tax incentives, including business rates and Stamp Duty relief and higher national insurance thresholds, are available to occupiers. The UK Battery Industrialisation Centre (UKBIC), which provides testing facilities for battery technologies, neighbours the site. 

Corin Crane, chief executive of the Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce, said: “This announcement is great news for Coventry and Warwickshire. GreenPower Park is a critically important development that highlights the region’s position as a global centre for advanced manufacturing, clean energy and battery technology.

“Moreso, local businesses will have big opportunities across the supply chain whether that is construction, professional services or logistics. Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce looks forward to working with partners to help local firms benefit from this opportunity and to attract inward investment to the region.”
