MGT Biomass Plant – Teesside
MGT Biomass Plant – Teesside
MGT Power received this month consent from the UK government to build a £500 million 295-megawatt biomass plant at Teesport. The plant is planned to generate enough electricity to power around 600,000 homes and would be one of the largest biomass plants in the world. The Plant is anticipated to start commercial operation in late 2012 and is expected to provide 600 jobs during its three-year construction and 150 permanent jobs during the station’s lifetime. The plant is expected to use around 2.4 million tons of woodchips a year and operate at baseload, 24 hours a day, on a year-round basis.
