Energy company takes 47,000 sq ft at Hinckley Park

Hinckley Park has welcomed its fourth occupier, Octopus Energy, the renewable energy company.

Octopus Energy will utilise the 47,000 sq ft space for storing and distributing heat pumps and solar panels, doubling as a national training centre for installation engineers.

This unit is part of the final development phase at Hinckley Park, achieving EPC A and BREEAM Excellent ratings, the facility includes electric car charging for every parking space.

It is designed as Net Zero in Construction and Net Zero Ready, incorporating solar PVs.

Hinckley Park’s connectivity has already generated over 1500 jobs and attracted major logistics players like Amazon and DPD.

Geosynthetics, a local operator, recently secured a 60,000 sq ft unit to support their growth in supplying products to the civil engineering sector.

Harry Goodman, development manager for IM Properties said: “This is another great name to add to the occupier list at Hinckley Park and is a testament to our commitment to creating top-tier industrial spaces that meet the needs of innovative and forward-thinking companies like Octopus Energy. Positioned within close proximity of key transport hubs and major cities including Coventry, Leicester and Birmingham, Hinckley Park offers access to a wide and diverse labour pool which is ideally suited to the occupiers we have attracted to date.”
