Project Description
The wood-fuelled CHP plant will be the largest in Scotland.
It will use sustainably sourced wood fuel, primarily from overseas and will have the capacity to generate 120 MW of low-carbon renewable electricity and 200 MW of heat.
Electricity will be supplied to the national grid and heat will be supplied to industrial users, thereby reducing their carbon emissions.
The plant could also potentially lead to the subsequent installation of a district heating network in the Grangemouth area.

The plant represents a capital investment of £465-million.
Duration
The plant could begin generating heat and electricity by 2017.
Latest Developments
Forth Energy has received consent from the Scottish government to develop the CHP plant at the Port of Grangemouth.

It is expected that the plant will take about three years to build, following a year’s detailed design and engineering.
