Summary

Also known as Evermore this Combined Heat and Power Biomass EfW facility is based on up to 110,000 tonnes per annum of waste wood producing 15.8 MW of electricity and 6 MW of heat. The facility is located in Derry in Northern Ireland. The feedstock is supplied locally under a long-term fuel contract with Stobart Biomass and the energy generated is purchased under a long-term contact with Power NI.

The facility was developed by Evermore Energy (ERE Developments Limited), and is operated by Burmeister Wain Scandinavian Contractor (BWSC), who also provided turnkey EPC services for this facility. Operations started at the end of 2015 after construction began in mid-2013.

This facility was the first biomass fired power station to be developed in Northern Ireland and remains the largest.

The boiler technology implemented at the facility was supplied by Weiss Kessel-Anlagen-und Maschinenbau GmbH.
