As the main contractor, BWSC is responsible for design and turnkey supply of the plant, which can burn straw and up 50% wood chips. The plant is expected to become operational by early 2016.

The 40MWe Brigg biomass power plant will generate enough electricity to power around 70,000 households and curb CO2 emission reduction of around 300,000 tonnes annually.

Earlier BWE and BWSC have jointly worked on the Sleaford biomass plant in the UK, which is currently in the commissioning phase.
