The plant commenced construction in October 2006 and was fully operational in November 2008. The plant cost £33m to construct via an [[EPC]] consortium contract between [[Aalborg Energie Technik]] (AET) and [[Burmeister & Wain Scandinavian Contractor]] (BWSC). It is based on coventional combustion via an advanced grate that processes 20 tonnes per hour of wood chips, with a steam turbine from [[Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding]]<ref>[https://www.renewable-technology.com/projects/western-wood-energy-biomass-wales/ Renewable Technology Website]</ref>. | |||
