Summary
A Biomass Waste EFW located near Port Talbot, South Wales, generating c. 40 MW[1] based on an annual combustion rate of c.335,000tonnes of wood waste per annum[2].
The plant is owned by Glennmont Partners, a specialist clean energy investment fund which focuses on investment in clean energy infrastructure. Originally the Margam project was a joint venture between Cardiff based energy development company, Eco2 Ltd and a local company, Western Logs Group. Eco2 Ltd now has responsibility for the plants overall operations and fuel management supply[1]. The project was one of the final of its type to be supported under the Renewables Obligation [3].
The plant became operational in 2019 at a cost of c.£160m[1].
The Margam plant takes waste wood that is supplied by Stobart Biomass on a long term contract. The waste wood is sourced and supplied by Stobart from across the country at a rate of approximately 6,000 tonnes per week[1].
