The company RWE has set up a new electric power station, which uses alternative fuel
The power station of 65 megawatts in capacity can produce thermal energy and electricity as well, it is situated in Markinch, in Five, the historic county of Scotland. Fergus Ewing, the Minister for Energy assisted at the opening ceremony.
The management of the company RWE Innogy informs that the new and ultra-modern power station is going to replace the electric power station situated at the plant of the company Tullis Russell, the producer of paper. A new establishment will fully satisfy the demand of the industry for electro and thermal energy. The energy surplus will be directed to the local power grids, which will provide an opportunity to supply 45000 households with energy.
It is also mentioned that wood waste will account for 90% of the total volume of used biomass, and forest wood will account for the remaining 10%, destined for being used as raw material. The Forestry Commission of Scotland has endorsed a long-term contract for the delivery of 750 thousands of tonnes of wood throughout the consequent ten years. Besides, the new power station will reduce the degree of carbon dioxide emissions by 250 thousands of tonnes annually.
"I feel extremely happy about having the rare honour of being allowed to start up the power station in Markinch. It is the most prominent British establishment of this kind and it is a matter for pride of the entire country, and not only that of Britain, and it will help us attain the explicit goals aimed at increasing the share of alternative energy by 11% by 2020", commented on this event Mr. Ewing.
