BIOMASS PLANT ON COOLING TOWERS SITE

Construction on E.On’s biomass energy plant in Sheffield is set to begin later this month (November 2011)

At a cost of £120 million, the plant will be built on the former Tinsley Towers site, near the city’s popular Meadowhall shopping complex.

Dave Rogers, Regional Director for Renewables at E.On said the Sheffield project demonstrated their commitment to the development of renewable energy. He added that “biomass power stations, such as Blackburn Meadows, form an important part of that low carbon solution.”

Once up and running, the plant – which will convert recycled waste wood into electricity – is expected to generate up to 30MW, which will provide enough power for around 40,000 homes.

Where possible, E.On will be using the services of local companies during the construction process. By mid 2014, when the energy plant is fully operational, it’s estimated in the region of 30 full-time jobs will be created, adding a much needed boost to local employment.

In addition, the energy provider is to establish a community benefits fund, and will put up to £25,000 a year into the pot to support local projects.

“This is great news for the area and will deliver a much needed boost for local jobs,” said MP for Sheffield South East, Clive Betts, after visiting the site.
