UK’s RWE npower world’s largest wood pellet-based biomass power to start operations this month

Posted on : 31 Jan, 2012

 

RWE npower is all set to start commercial operations at UK’s biggest biomass power station at Tilbury. The third of three units at the 750-megawatt (MW) power plant will start producing power and will be commercially operational by the end of January. 

 

According to Dan Meredith, Corporate Public Relations Manager for RWE npower, at full capacity the plant will use approximately 2.5 million tons of wood pellets by the time the plant switches from coal to only biomass. This switch would account for 10% of renewable energy output for the U.K. going into 2012.
