This blog discusses the important role the North East of England is playing in helping towards a more sustainable future and how NECIT can contribute to this future.
In recent months there has been significant movement for the North East region in the renewable and green energy industry, with the news of two battery powered Gigafactories in Blyth and Sunderland giving the go-ahead for planning and construction.
This blog discusses the important role the North East is playing in paving the way to this more sustainable future. From the news of the battery Gigafactories as well as the construction of several offshore wind farms, the North East is taking a lead on this movement. We will also discuss how NECIT Services Limited can support projects like these.
