HMP Millsike opened in Spring 2025 as part of our commitment to deliver an additional 14,000 prisons places, aiming to do so by 2031.
It is the UK’s first all-electric prison with over 1,800 roof-mounted solar PV panels and 130 Air Source Heat Pumps. HMP Millsike uses 67% less energy from the power grid, cutting carbon emissions by around 75%, compared to previous prison designs. The design also considered resilience to climate change including summertime overheating.
Construction delivered 10% biodiversity net gain, with over 6,000 trees planted consisting of 21 native species.
HMP Millsike added significant social value with over £150 million spent within 50 miles of the site. 799 construction jobs were created and now operational, the prison provides c.600 permanent jobs.

HMP Millsike officially opened in March 2025 and received the first cohort of prisoners on 23 April.

Ramp up will be strictly monitored and can be adjusted or paused should the safety or stability of the prison require it.
