Over the next 12 months Electric Places will collaborate with partners including Tata Steel and North Northamptonshire Council to:
- Develop a Decarbonisation Plan for Local Industry to Transition
- Establish a Body to Drive Transition to Low Carbon Economy
Innovate UK is supporting industry and manufacturers in North Northamptonshire to decarbonise, reduce their emissions and avoid carbon leakage.
DECODE-CORBY aims to revolutionise the steel and manufacturing community in Corby, Northamptonshire. The UK’s biggest steelmaker, Tata Steel, has a 150-acre site in Corby, and the town is a crucial hub for producing and transporting essential goods for the UK.

The DECODE Corby Local Industrial Decarbonisation Plan (LIDP) sets out a practical, action-led roadmap to help Corby’s manufacturing and logistics sector lead the transition to net zero. Drawing on in-depth research and engagement, the plan identifies three strategic pathways, Green the Grid, Fight for Power, and Optimise and Share, and translates them into real-world projects through digital tools, stakeholder collaboration, and industrial insight. DECODE demonstrates how Corby can reduce emissions while remaining a competitive industrial hub, showing that decarbonisation without deindustrialisation is not only possible but essential.
