A [[Biomass Waste EFW]] facility based upon the co-firing of virgin wood and forestry processing rejects, with only small amounts of clean [[Wood Waste]] to generate 14MWe | A [[Biomass Waste EFW]] facility [[Western Wood Energy Plant]] is based upon the co-firing of virgin wood and forestry processing rejects, with only small amounts of clean [[Wood Waste]] to generate 14MWe. The [[Forestry Commission]] is the largest fuel supplier to the plant. | ||
The Western Wood facility is owned by [[Western Bioenergy Ltd]] and [[Good Energies(UK) LLP]] is the principle shareholder (with a minority interest by [[Western Log Group]] who originally developed the project). [[ECO2]] joined the project between 2004 and 2014 for fuel logistics and administration - the plant is now owned and operated by [[Greensphere Capital LLP]]. | The Western Wood facility is owned by [[Western Bioenergy Ltd]] and [[Good Energies(UK) LLP]] is the principle shareholder (with a minority interest by [[Western Log Group]] who originally developed the project).

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>. | The plant commenced construction in October 2006 and was fully operational in November 2008.
