Eccleshall Biomass has pioneered development of one of the first dedicated bio-energy power plants in
the UK.
At the centre of this groundbreaking project is a 2.6 megawatt generator, fuelled by the energy crop
"miscanthus", other energy crops and clean wood chip.
The plant generates enough electricity to run 2,600 homes equivalent to the local town of Eccleshall
making it one of the first carbon neutral towns in the country. It is also supporting the rural economy
by creating local jobs and providing the opportunity for farms to diversify into energy crops.
The plant generates electricity using steam turbine technology. It will contribute 20,000 mega watt
hours of renewable energy direct to the network.
