Renewable Energy Generation (REG) said its 18MW Bio-Power project in England has now completed its commission programme and is ready to generate power.
The plant, at Whitemoor in Yorkshire, will be able to produce energy under the National Grid’s Short Term Operating Reserve (STOR) service.
It will receive availability payments for standing by during specified periods and utilisation payments when it provides power to the National Grid in order to meet unscheduled energy needs.
Andrew Whalley, chief executive officer, said:”The addition of Whitemoor into our fleet of projects powered by our patented bio-liquid is significant.
“Not only does it increase REG Bio-Power’s operational output to 26MW but is also the first successfully built and commissioned project of its type in the UK.
“Our fleet is well-equipped to meet the demands of the STOR service and we aim to deploy further state-of-the-art rapid response generation plant to help address the UK’s current capacity shortage.”
