The engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract worth £7m for the project, funded by London based Eternity Capital, has been signed in March 2014.
Under the terms of the contract, FLI Energy is responsible for the design, construction and commissioning of the plant.
Scope of the contract also includes provision of site secondary containment bunding, drainage, feedstock clamp, digestate storage, full anaerobic digestion (AD) plant technology, biogas upgrading technology, propane addition equipment, and biomethane network entry facilities.
A biomethane to grid AD plant will convert organic materials from local sources, including agricultural and local food waste and convert it into gas and electricity.
According to FLI Energy, the project will be completed and handed over to Greener for Life Energy by the end of 2014.
Once completed, the biogas plant is expected to generate enough electricity to power 2,500 households in the UK, while producing 1,000 cubic meters of biogas per hour.
The plant will be equipped with biogas upgrading technology called the Carborex MS100 system, supplied by DMT.
FLI Energy sales director Chris Long said, "We are very pleased to be working with Greener for Life Energy to deliver this important project."
"The Fraddon plant represents yet another positive step taken towards the necessary decarbonisation of the UK gas grid," Long added.
"It also continues to underpin FLI Energy’s leadership in the field of biomethane-to-grid anaerobic digestion project design, construction and operation."
