Biomass Power Station on Cooling Towers Site
|
| |
The site of the famous former cooling towers close to the M1 flyover is set to once more start generating power. Formerly used to generate power from coal, the biomass power station will use waste wood to provide energy to homes and businesses.
E.ON has unveiled further details of its biomass-fired renewable energy plant, which will begin construction at the end of November, at Blackburn Meadows near Sheffield.
The £120m renewable energy plant will be set near the site of the old Tinsley Towers, adjacent to Meadowhall, and when operational will generate up to 30MW, enough to power 40,000 homes, by converting recycled waste wood into electricity.
