Bedlington Town Centre Development

It is an exciting time in East Bedlington Parish. 

BRITISHVOLT

The proposed development on the former Blyth Power Station Coal Storage Yard, at Cambois by Bristishvolt is hoped to create 3000 jobs on site constructing the first UK battery gigaplant, with a further 5,000 jobs in the supply chain.   

The manufacturing facility will be one of the largest manufacturing plants in the whole of Europe, set on a 95-hectare site that will also co-locate supply chain partners and green low carbon energy production. Keeping supply chains as short as possible and creating a vertically integrated business structure will ensure that costs are kept as low as possible, logistics chains are short and embedded CO2 emissions are minimised.

NORTH SEA LINK

Work continues on establishing the longest under sea electric cable between Norway and Cambois.  The project which will ses “wave power” generated in Norway travelling to the UK and “wind generated power” travelling from the UK to Norway further demonstrating the promotion of green technologies in this part of South East Northumberland.  The project is expected to go “live” in December 2021.

NORTHUMBERLAND LINE

Planning permission has now been submitted for the proposed Station improvements along the proposed Northumberland Line linking up Ashington, Bedlington Station , Blyth and Newcastle Upon Tyne.  We look forward to reporting devlopments as details are released!
