Home for the future of green innovation
A flagship development in the Freeport Zone of the UK’s Energy Estuary
CLARIFICATION: Yorkshire Energy Park has NOT signed an agreement to locate a small modular nuclear reactor on site, despite recent news reports claiming this is the case.
An international consortium, including Chiltern Vital Group and Freepan Holdings Corporation, have signed an agreement committing them to evaluating the feasibility of delivering a floating power station and small nuclear reactor to generate energy in the Humber, near Saltend, not at Yorkshire Energy Park.

Yorkshire Energy Park is set to be the UK’s first freeport-based energy and technology business park. The Humber is the home for the future of green innovation and YEP has a key part to play. YEP is located within the proposed Humber Freeport and adjacent to the UK’s busiest port complex, within the new “East Coast carbon capture cluster”, and in the heart of the UK’s “Energy Estuary”. Together, these benefits will build a park that not only delivers renewable energy, battery storage and state-of-the-art digital infrastructure but also an on-site educational campus with space for research and development in partnership with the University of Lincoln and CATCH.
By working closely with the local community and our partners at Hull City Council, YEP will help transform the region by creating up to 4,480 jobs (with a target of 80% local employment) and bringing £200 million of investment and a variety of new skills to the region.
By bringing resilient, secure, green energy to the region it will play a critical role in helping accelerate the transition already underway in the Humber, from one of the most carbon intensive regions in the country to a world leading green energy hub.
Delivering jobs,
investment and
world-class facilities
for the Humber region
We want to develop a hub for businesses that will lead the green industrial revolution, for individuals to acquire new skills, and one that the local community can benefit from for generations to come. Businesses choosing the Yorkshire Energy Park will benefit from world class infrastructure and support. The community will be able to enjoy new sports facilities and apply to a new YEP Community Fund to support local initiatives and projects.
