Vogen Energy awaits green power station approval
UK-based Vogen Energy is planning to bring online a biomass-fuelled power station in Newport, Wales, UK.
The local council is currently deliberating permission for the 25 megawatt power station which will power around 44,000 homes from sustainably sourced vegetable oils.
The operators are hoping to house the plant on a 4.7 acre brown field site near the city’s South Dock.
The £30 million (€34 million)project could be completed as early as 2011 if the council gives it the go ahead next week.
Haven Energy and Biogen energy plants are already operating in the area, and a third plant would attract other sustainable energy businesses to the area, which could create even more employment opportunities, the company says.
