The power plant can reach full output with high moisture fuels. It is able to burn a maximum of 20% recycled wood (limited by Planning and its [[The Pollution Prevention and Control (Scotland) Regulations 2012|IPPC Permit]]) and a maximum of 20% short rotation coppice. [[Moisture Content]] for the plant is between 46% and 58%, with a design blend of 53%<ref name="tech" />.

The [[Wood Waste]] tonnage received cannot be directly compared with the stated historical tonnage received and recorded in the [[SEPA]] statistics as these are recorded on a calendar year basis (i.e. January 2018 to December 2018) and no figures were available for the period.
