Energy and Climate Change minister Lord Hunt said: “If we are to tackle climate change we must reduce the amount of waste going to landfill and also make use of renewable sources of fuel. This power station will achieve both those objectives by turning waste into energy and using biomass, which will also contribute to delivering the UK’s renewable energy targets.”
Proposals of more than 50 MW power plant requires the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change’s consent under section 36 of the Electricity Act 1989.
