Projects

Biomass is an excellent source of clean, sustainable electricity and, through large scale projects, MGT Power aims to make a significant contribution to the UK's and EU's tough renewables and CO₂ reduction targets.

MGT Power is presently developing the Tees Renewable Energy Plant (Tees REP) and the Tyne Renewable Energy Plant (Tyne REP), both located in the north east of England.

Both projects are 300MW biomass plants and each one will generate electricity to power approximately 600,000 homes.

For more details on the Tyne REP, please follow the link to the project: www.mgttyne.com

Located in Teesport in England's North East, the £400m Tees Renewable Energy Plant (Tees REP) will be one of the world's largest biomass power stations.

Sourcing sustainable biomass fuels from the UK and globally, it will generate around 2.4 TWhrs of electricity each year, enough to power 600,000 homes.

As it will work around the clock, every day of the year (base-load) it will produce as much renewable electricity in a year as a 1,000MW wind farm. The station will help to meet the EU's renewable energy target of 20% by 2020, accounting for 5.5% of the UK's target, and it will save about 1.2 million tonnes of CO₂ per year.

MGT Teesside, the project development company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of MGT Power Ltd, has secured planning consent for Tees REP under Section 36 of the Electricity Act from the UK Government, as well as local authority approval. The power station will enter commercial operation in 2012.

Located in the Port of Tyne on England's North East coast, the £400m Tyne Renewable Energy Plant (Tyne REP) is of a similar design to the Tees REP and will also be one of the world's largest biomass power stations.

Sourcing sustainable biomass fuels from the UK and globally, it will generate around 2.4 TWhrs of electricity each year, enough to power 600,000 homes.

As it will work around the clock, every day of the year (base-load) it will produce as much renewable electricity in a year as a 1,000MW wind farm. The station will help to meet the EU's renewable energy target of 20% by 2020, accounting for 5% of the UK's target, and it will save about 1.2 million tonnes of CO₂ per year.

MGT Tyne, the project development company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of MGT Power Ltd, is applying for consent from the UK Government under Section 36 of the Electricity Act. Subject to consent, the power station will enter commercial operation in 2014.
