Coventry City Council owns the freehold of Coventry Airport which is under a long lease to Coventry Airport Limited. The two parties formed a joint venture in 2021 in order to promote the site for a battery gigafactory - a high-volume manufacturing facility for Electric Vehicle batteries. The site is now marketed as Greenpower Park. In 2022, Warwick District Council granted outline planning permission for a total of 5.7m square feet of development on the site. In 2024, the site became part of the West Midlands Investment Zone (WMIZ). As well as providing tax incentives to attract new occupiers in the advanced manufacturing sector, WMIZ provides capital funding for site improvements. Coventry City Council are conducting infrastructure upgrades to the Greenpower Park site, including a reinforcement to the power supply which has until now been a barrier to development of the site. This work must be completed by Matrix Networks, as UK Power Distribution (UKPD) is the Independent Network Operator that owns the connection rights for the route necessary to deliver the power infrastructure and they also own the necessary equipment and reserved electrical capacity to deliver this work. The Council intends to enter in to a PCSA in October 2025 with the main construction contract entered into in March 2026.
