The contract was secured from Black Dog Biogas, which is funded by Sustainable Technology Investors EIS Fund.
Keith Leddington-Hill of Laurence Gould Partnership secured approval for the plant by working with MT-Energie.
A second phase plan proposes to expand the facility further with additional satellite CHP that will provide heat to an adjacent development.
The project will feature a digester, a secondary fermenter and a residue storage tank.
It will also include MT-Energie wet feeding system, dubbed MT-MixBox, and a separator to dilute dry substrates conveyed into the process.
MT-Energie national sales manager Ben Donaldson said the project is designed to primarily generate electricity, however, the company additionally aims to capture and use the heat in a neighbouring manufacturing plant.
"The planned satellite CHP will be located next to an industrial user in order to provide sustainable heat and electricity directly onsite," Donaldson added.
Fredrik Adams of Black Dog Biogas said, "We are delighted to bring AD technology to the island through a project that aims not only to produce electricity but also to make efficient use of heat, thereby boosting the environmental credentials of the plant."
