Under the contract signed with Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, B&W Vølund and its partner Interserve Strategic Projects, will design, manufacture and operate the power plant.
The Rotherham biomass plant will use waste wood as fuel to generate approximately 40MW of electricity. It will feature a B&W Vølund-designed multi-fuel boiler with a DynaGrate fuel combustion system and a dry flue gas desulfurization system (dry FGD).
B&W Vølund will also be responsible for the operations and maintenance services for an initial term of 15 years after the plant is commissioned in third quarter of 2017.
B&W Global Power Division senior vice-president and general manager Paul Scavuzzo said: "The market for biomass power and waste-to-energy technologies in Europe continues to be strong, and B&W is well-positioned to meet the demand for reliable, clean energy solutions.
"This is B&W’s fourth major renewable energy project announced in the European market in the last seven months."
In February, Interserve Construction and B&W Vølund signed a turnkey contract for the development of a biomass project at Margam, near Port Talbot, Wales, UK.
