Neptune Energy Park (NEP) is a major manufacturing and education cluster on the River Tyne, creating unrivalled capacity and capability with supportive facilities and infrastructure. The redevelopment of the former Neptune shipyard has created a site of over 60 acres with an operational quay edge, deep water access and heavy loadout capability. Like our Offshore Technology Park, NEP has a world class reputation in service, cost-effectiveness, safety, efficiency and flexibility.
A Government Enterprise Zone
In 2011, the Government designated Neptune Energy Park as an Enterprise Zone. This status enables our occupiers to benefit from enhanced capital allowances. NEP currently incorporates a manufacturing and education cluster of established companies such as Baker Hughes, IHC, Bridon Bekaert, JDR, Newcastle College Renewables Academy and Newcastle University Subsea Academy.
