Kier starts work on Energy Central Institute in Blyth
Corrected on 27 October 2026. See our corrections.
Kier has broken ground on the Energy Central Institute in Blyth. The project, for Northumberland County Council, is part of the Energising Blyth regeneration programme. Kier puts it at £18m. The council calls it the £25m Energy Central Institute. The building, beside Blyth Market Place, will include a flexible theatre, teaching and research space, offices and a community cafe.
Our readPutting the institute beside Blyth Market Place keeps the town's energy skills investment in plain public view. Kier and the council will need to keep showing progress until it opens in late 2027.
