Tyseley Energy Park

What Tyseley Energy Park does

Tyseley Energy Park, now operating as TEP Birmingham, is a clean energy innovation cluster located in East Birmingham on a site with 300 years of industrial heritage. The organisation operates as a place-based ecosystem rather than a single-product company: it provides shared physical infrastructure — including one of the UK's largest hydrogen refuelling stations, the National Centre for the Decarbonisation of Heat, and broader green-technology facilities — alongside a collaborative environment that convenes clean-tech businesses, academic researchers and public-sector partners. TEP is a key delivery partner in the West Midlands Growth Strategy and currently hosts more than 20 clean energy and technology innovation organisations on site. The stated operational footprint supports 1,500–2,000 jobs (with 8,000 jobs attributed across 250 on-site businesses), has piloted or scaled over 2,000 clean energy projects, and has generated 120+ academic outputs including papers, patents and policy contributions.

The core offering combines three categories of physical product: the hydrogen refuelling station supporting transport decarbonisation, the National Centre for the Decarbonisation of Heat acting as a nationally significant R&D hub, and broader green-technology infrastructure covering workspace and laboratory facilities for tenant organisations. There is no software platform or app; the value proposition is the integrated physical and collaborative environment itself, including access to advanced energy infrastructure, funding expertise, and the on-site commercial network.

Revenue mechanics centre on recurring, subscription-style streams: workspace and industrial space rental to clean-tech and innovation tenants, and ecosystem membership providing access to collaboration, funding expertise and workforce. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, distributed through quote-based multi-year contracts and a direct membership inquiry process. Customer segments span clean energy technology organisations (e.g., Innvotek, HyProMag, Voltempo), academic research institutions (notably University of Birmingham) and public-sector partners (Birmingham City Council, The Crown Estate, West Midlands Combined Authority). Strategic positioning targets the UK's net-zero transition, with £88m of investment deployed to date and a stated ambition to catalyse over £1bn by 2030.
