The park, which is being developed by DP World will have some 9.25m sq ft of warehouse space.
Hendry said: “The Gateway Energy Centre will play an important role in providing secure electricity supplies to around a million homes across the South East, supplying heat and power to the neighbouring London Gateway Port and Logistics and Business Park and bringing jobs and investment to Essex.”
