Templeborough Biomass Power Plant
Generating
of green electricity
Supplying
homes with energy
Saving over
tons of CO2 a year
We generated our first renewable electricity at the plant during July 2018, it now generates around 41MW of green electricity which is enough to supply 78,000 homes and save over 150,000 tons of CO2 every year. It’s difficult to visualise how much that is but would look the same as 250,000 really big hot air balloons and the saving is equal to 1.75 million plane flights to Paris.

FAQs
How much wood do you need to burn every year for the power plant to run at full capacity?
We are working with Stobart Biomass Products Ltd., a subsidiary of the Stobart Group, who also part own the Eddie Stobart logistics company. We will use around 260,000 tonnes of locally generated waste wood per year which requires 40 lorry loads of waste wood chip every day to generate 41MW of power. On average every person in the UK generates approximately 100 kg of waste wood products per year, so the Yorkshire and Humber region alone generates over twice the amount of waste wood that is required by our plant.
