Celebrating Local Investment Opportunities: Supplier Event Welcomes Local Businesses

On 19th November 2025, our supplier engagement event was held at Coldra Court Hotel in Newport, bringing together businesses and supply chain representatives from across Newport and Monmouth. The day was a celebration of local expertise, collaboration, and the opportunities that Future Energy Llanwern could create for local businesses.

With operations and management lasting for 40 years, Future Energy Llanwern is committed to sourcing skills and services locally wherever possible. We will be looking to partner with local suppliers to deliver a wide range of activities across the project’s construction and operation.

What’s Next?

We remain committed to ensuring that Future Energy Llanwern provides a clear route for local businesses to get involved throughout construction and across its 40‑year lifespan. Local businesses were able to engage face‑to‑face with Next Energy Capital’s Global Construction & Procurement Director at our event, sharing views and registering their interest in future opportunities. We will continue to ensure these businesses have an open dialogue with him and his team around Future Energy Llanwern’s opportunities.
