+The plant was originally owned by [[Glennmont Partners]], a specialist clean energy investment fund which focuses on investment in clean energy infrastructure, but was sold to [[Greencoat Capital]] in April 2022, a company 75% owned by [[Schroders]]<ref>https://www.letsrecycle.com/news/glennmont-sells-margam-green-biomass-plant/</ref>. Originally the Margam project was a joint venture between Cardiff based energy development company, [[Eco2 Ltd]] and a local company, [[Western Logs Group]]. [[Eco2 Ltd]] now has responsibility for the plants overall operations and fuel management supply<ref name="Marg" />. The project was one of the final of its type to be supported under the [[ROC|Renewables Obligation]] <ref>[https://fichtner.co.uk/projects/margam-green-energy-park/ Fichtner]</ref>.
