North East England The North East Enterprise Zone, initiated by the North East Local Enterprise Partnership, was announced by the government in 2011.[85] The zone focusses on technology for low carbon vehicle development, marine offshore and subsea engineering, petrochemicals and renewable energy.[86] At the time of announcement the enterprise zone included two clusters of sites, an Ultra Low Carbon Vehicle zone in Sunderland and a zone on the River Tyne North Bank.[85] The Sunderland cluster is close to the Nissan plant and includes Turbine Business Park. It hosts Gateshead College's Future Technology Centre.[86] The cluster on the Tyne includes the Port of Tyne North Estate, Swan Hunter in North Tyneside, and Neptune Yard in Newcastle.[85] The zone was launched in April 2012.[86] In that year another cluster of sites, comprising the Blyth Estuary Renewable Energy Zone at Port of Blyth, was added to the zone.[87] The enterprise zone contains ten sites over the three clusters, covering 115 hectares (280 acres) in total.[88]
